If in doubt, record a macro and inspect the entrails!

Here is an INDEX to all the procedures.

You will probably need one copy of my GLOBAL DECLARATIONS.



Public Function boolFieldExists(strFieldCode As String) As Boolean
' Procedure :   boolFieldExists
' Description:  Return TRUE if a field can be found.
' Copyright:    Chris Greaves Inc.
' Inputs:       STRING name of an active document.
' Returns:      BOOLEAN.
' Assumes:      Nothing
' Side Effects:  None.
' Tested:          By the calls shown below.
    ' This is too crude a test for words, but it works.
    Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToField, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=1, Name:=strFieldCode
    Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
    If Selection.Fields.Count > 0 Then
        boolFieldExists = UCase(strFieldCode) = UCase(Left(Trim(Selection.Fields(1).Code), Len(strFieldCode)))
    Else
        boolFieldExists = False
    End If
'Sub TESTboolFieldExists()
'    MsgBox boolFieldExists("TOC")
'End Sub
End Function
