Form Fields in Word have trailing spaces
I am able to automate the pushing of data from an Excel spreadsheet to a Word
document that has form fields using VBA. However, the data that is populated to its respective field pushes the form field 5 spaces to the right of the data. How do I program the data to populate "into" the field without incurring extra spaces. NOTE: This scenario doesn't always happen after running the Excel VBA code. Thanks! -- MD |

Can you show some of the code you use to do this?

yes, here is a sample where the bookmark (form field) text is set.
(All bookmark values are set in this manner.) objDoc.Bookmarks("txtParagraph1").select objWord.Selection.Text = strParagraph1 Do you need more details?

Try this for a test
Sub Test() Dim objDoc As Document Dim objWord As Application Dim myFormField As FormField Set objDoc = ThisDocument For Each myFormField In objDoc.FormFields Debug.Print myFormField.Name, myFormField.TextInput.Type, myFormField.TextInput.Type If myFormField.Type = wdFieldFormTextInput And _ myFormField.TextInput.Type = wdRegularText Then myFormField.Result = "Hello" End If Next myFormField End Sub -- HTH, Barb Reinhardt If this post was helpful to you, please click YES below.

Form Fields in Word have trailing spaces
Thanks again!
This works when running it from Word. There are no trailing spaces. Hmmmm... Do I use the ".Result" instead of ".Text" when running the code from Excel? Is this what makes the difference, perhaps? -- MD "Barb Reinhardt" wrote: Try this for a test Sub Test() Dim objDoc As Document Dim objWord As Application Dim myFormField As FormField Set objDoc = ThisDocument For Each myFormField In objDoc.FormFields Debug.Print myFormField.Name, myFormField.TextInput.Type, myFormField.TextInput.Type If myFormField.Type = wdFieldFormTextInput And _ myFormField.TextInput.Type = wdRegularText Then myFormField.Result = "Hello" End If Next myFormField End Sub -- HTH, Barb Reinhardt If this post was helpful to you, please click YES below.

Form Fields in Word have trailing spaces
Barb,
It works! Never mind about the last question. I used this type of assignment for each field -- objDoc.FormFields("txtParagraph1").Result = strParagraph1 Thank you so much! It was mind-boggling there for a while. You have been most helpful!
