I meant to say ActiveDocument.Fields.Locked = True - not unlocked.

Maybe,

If ActiveDocument.Name = "Whatever"
'Don't process the fields
Else
'Process the fields
End If

The documents are templates so they don't have any names yet- just document(1), document(2), etc. - how do I determine which document number would be the one not to unlink for every case (I think it may be different depending upon how the user makes choices in the userform)? This "special" document will have a phrase in it that will not be in the other document templates, so maybe I could say, if active document does not contain "phrase" then ActiveDocument.Fields.Unlink - I just can't find the VBA to say "if active document does not contain "phrase" - thanks for the previous reply.
