Field removal from template

[Phelony]

Hi Guys

I was wondering if anyone could help me, I've created a word template in 2003 with fields that link back to another document.

When I create a new document from the template, I'd like the fields to be removed and have that document not update any further.

Could anyone advise how to do this? I had hoped it would be a built in feature, but both Word and the interweb are being somewhat less than helpful.

I'm adept with VBA in Excel, but Word is an entirely different thing!



Any help would be appreciated.

Fixed it myself

Dim doc As Document
Dim fld As Field

Set doc = ActiveDocument

For Each fld In doc.Fields

fld.Select
‘this is the field type, you can adjust this to suit the fields you are using, but they have to be
‘named individually, this might mean running several variations of this macro.

If fld.Type = wdFieldIncludeText Then

fld.Locked = True

End If

Next

Set fld = Nothing

Set doc = Nothing
