Document.ApplyFieldData Method

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.
