Document.ApplyFieldData Method

Applies filed data document wide. This covers paragraphs, tables, nested tables, nested paragraphs.

ApplyFieldData(
   fieldName as String,
   data as String)

Parameters

fieldName
Name of the field to fill in.
data
Data to fill into the field.

Remarks

Field data is to make it easy to create templated forms where you put in for example [Name]. And then that can be filled in with ApplyFieldData by specifying [Name] as fieldName.

If field does not seem to work then your more than likely to have more than one formatting run within same field. Making for example in case of [Name] then [N could belong to one formatting run and ame] could belong to other. This cannot work, a single field must belong within one formatting run for it to work.

It is not valid to replace a field with text that contains tab key.
