Trying to Reference a ContentControl Using DocProperty
I have content control drop downs (thanks Macropod!) that I am trying to reference with the DocProperty. I found a post that Macropod put in the forum but I cannot seem to get it to work. I though I had it working at one point but now...?
I have attached the file. Thank you! |

hi Suze,
Much easier to advise if you provide a link to the post to which you refer. With over 7300 posts to date, I'd have a lot to look through...

My apologies -
Here is the link - your comment is 4th down. The file you reference is CCtrl DocProp.zip https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...t-control.html |

hi Suze,
In that document, the content controls populate a series of custom document properties, named Sbjct, Stmnt, Dsclr & MjTpc, respectively. Those have to be created in the document beforehand, via File>Properties>Advanced>Custom. Then, for cross-referencing purposes, DOCPROPERTY fields are used, each one referencing its own custom property. There is another way, though, that requires no code, custom document properties or DOCPROPERTY fields: simply copy a given content control and use Paste Special>Paste Link to replicate the data.
