Hi simpleonline,

There is no such thing as .Type = wdFieldCharacter for a Word field.

Perhaps you could explain a bit more about what kind of fields you're working with and what you mean by 'if the value next to the word is blank'. It also makes a big difference if the lines you refer to are separate paragraphs, as Word's concept of a line is affected by the current printer driver (which it uses to lay out the text on the page). Hence, you can get different results with different printers if you're working with lines within a paragraph.
