Bookmarks vs Fields

[Grinhook]

Hi all,

Getting back into VBA and this time working on Word (previous experience was in Access). At present I am preparing templates for proposal documentation. Our proposals contain a standard set of information (proposal number, title, client etc) and I immediately thought of using either supplied or custom document property fields.

Doing some reading to get back up to speed and I have seen reference to either using fields or bookmarks to save document specific text.

Strong suspicion that the the two approaches (fields/bookmarks) are intended to achieve different outcomes so would welcome guidance on which the best method to use. Intent is to capture document details in a UserForm and then populate throughout document.

Cheers and TIA.
