Copying certain info from word to access table

[tazbrown]

I am currently working on a project that requires me to read the currently opened word document and read certain areas of the document for information. This information needs to be updated into a table in Access. I don't know how to go about stepping thru the document to get the particular information that I need. Any help would be much appreciated.

User bookmarks for different areas within a word document. When you open this document in code, you can read these book marks and copy thier contents to your local variables.
In order to create bookmarks, highlight a region in Word and right-click to set a book-mark. I have pasted some sample code that shows how to access a bookmark in word.

Dim wWord As Object
Dim wDoc As Object
Dim wRange As Object
Dim inputVar as string

Set wWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set wDoc = wWord.Documents.Open(docDestination)
If wDoc.Bookmarks.Exists("Fromname") Then
Set wRange = wDoc.Bookmarks("Fromname").Range
inputVar = wRange.Text
End If

set wWord = nothing
set wDoc = nothing
set wRange = nothing


If your word documents are created everyday, create them from a template that already has these bookmarks e.g:
FileCopy formLetterSource, formletterDestination
