How Do I Create Word Headers in VBA?

[kaz8896]

Hi Everybody,

I'm writing several macros in VBA that insert different documents in each one to form a template for our letters. I'm trying to find out how to create headers programmably through VBA. The reason I need to do it this way is because, when the user clicks the button on the toolbar that has the macro linked to it, they are prompted to enter a number. Weather it be a quote number, po number, job number and so on. I store the number in a string variable and I need to display it in the header of every page along with the page number under it. If anyone knows of a way to do this through VBA I would greatly appriciate it if you could post some code that would help me. Thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely,
Derek

dear derek,

in the headers you enter the following field function (in German it is Feldfunktion) via insert field

DOCVARIABLE "hugo" \* MERGEFORMAT


you can add docvariables via
ThisDocument.Variables.Add "hugo"

and you can assign values to it via

ThisDocument.Variables.Item("hugo&quot = "upps"



HTH

Dear Astrid


I tried the code samples that you gave me and I could not get them to work. If you have the time could you please check if there was possible a syntax error with the code you gave me. If you can find a problem I would be very greatful if you could post the revised code. If not, well then I guess I'm S.O.L. Thank you very much for help.

Sincerely,
Derek

Dear Derek,

I created the code via copy and paste so I am very sure it works.

Please tell me what your problems look like?
