It is string property and with modern systems it seems ridiculous that Word can not handle this. There is no serious reason why there should be such a limit as 20 characters. They (formfield object, bookmark object) are, and will remain, two distinct objects. "but it does get everything into one Word object." No, it does not. However, again, if you are looping via Index number - Formfield(i) - the name does not matter anyway. You could then use an array of the bookmark names to get the formfield names. Obviously you should test first to see if it IS 20+ characters. Now you can extract the actual formfield name from the bookmark name. Now go through and re-bookmark the formfields, giving the bookmarks the longer name.īookmark for formfield: MoreThanEnoughToGetToHeaven This does NOT affect the formfields themselves in any way at all. Now go through and delete the internally generated bookmarks (with the 20 characters). Again, I do not know the exact details, but IF the formfields are given long names - via Properties - the string will be truncated at 20 characters. It is just that most people think of them as interchangeable.ģ. The fact is that they ARE two separate objects. I do not know what you mean exactly by "maintain two Word objects (bookmark and form field) for every field". As a workaround, place each text form field in a table cell whose dimensions are fixed. You could still use Formfields(i).Result if you are looping through them all, as using (i) - as an Index number - has no connection with using a name.Ģ. In a text form field, you can limit the number of (printable) characters, but you cant prevent people from pressing Enter excessively, even if document protection is enabled. Well I don't all the details of your situation but.ġ. This value must be either null, TextField.noMaxLength, or greater than 0. Who made up this 20-character limit, anyway? Reminds me of MS-DOS days where every character was a big deal! :dunno The text field enforces the length with a LengthLimitingTextInputFormatter, which is evaluated after the supplied inputFormatters, if any. I'm not happy about this, but it does get everything into one Word object. I think we may resort to putting our lengthy "bookmark" name into the form field's "Add Help Text -> Status Bar -> Type your own" area. If we used form fields and their bookmarks, everything would appear in the form field properties dialog. We wanted the string to be pretty long so that the document author could compose it, and later look at the string and understand it. The bookmark name was to be a fairly lengthy string that would identify the table, row, and column. Our application will open this document as a template and loop through all the form fields, setting FormFields(i).Result with data retrieved from an Access database. But in our situation the customer maintains a very large Word document with zillions of fields, and this would require the document author to maintain two Word objects (bookmark and form field) for every field. If our program was running the whole show via VBA, this would do the trick.
