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 RemoveNamedFields(doc As Document, intFieldType As Integer, strIdentifer As String) As String
' Procedure :   RemoveNamedFields
' Description:  Remove all occurrences of the named field from the document
' By:           Chris Greaves Inc.
' Inputs:       DOCUMENT to be examined, field type and identifier.
' Returns:      None.
' Assumes:      None.
' Side Effects: None
' Tested:       By the calls below.
    Dim fld As Field
    For Each fld In doc.Fields
        If fld.Type = intFieldType Then
            Dim strFieldCodeText As String
            strFieldCodeText = UCase(fld.Code.Text)
            Dim iInstr As Integer
            iInstr = InStr(1, strFieldCodeText, "\F")
            If iInstr > 0 Then
                Dim strName As String
                strName = Trim(Right$(strFieldCodeText, Len(strFieldCodeText) - iInstr - 1))
                strName = Left$(strName, 1)
                If UCase(strIdentifer) = UCase(strName) Then
                    fld.Select
                    fld.Delete

    Next fld
'Sub TESTstrFieldNames()

End Function

We all knew nothing when we started …
