Text boxes in a Template

[Dale Levesque]

How can I determine or better yet, modify the names of the text boxes in my
template. I use the following code to place text values in a template using
text boxes.


.ActiveDocument.Shapes("Text Box 3").Select
.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange.Select
.Selection.TypeText Text:="HELLO"

Now there are plenty of text boxes and I can't seem to find out what the
names are for them.


Best regards,


Dale

I'm using Word 2000 BTW.

Why are you using textboxes for this? For most purposes, Bookmarks or
DocProperty fields are much simpler ways to insert text into a document.

But anyway, you can rename your textboxes:

ActiveDocument.Shapes("Text Box 3").Name = "HelloBox"

Thanks. I'll look into Bookmarks and DocProperty fields.
