Windows Forms and Word Automation

[vbnewbie1217]

All,

I would like to populate a word document using a windows form (i.e. have a user enter text into a textbox in windows form (i.e. textbox1) and then click submit and have the application open a word document that I have created and place the users text into a form field using a bookmark (i.e. bookmark1).

I have done this in Access using VBA (i.e. using WordDocument.Fo rmFields("Bookm ark_Name").Resu lt = Forms("Form_Nam e").Field.Value ) but can't get this to translate into VB.NET. I have the form designed and am able to open the document, but can't get the text to populate.

I am using VS Pro 2K5 and Office 2K3.

Thanks in advance!

lol took me some time to work out but -


this opens "c:\test.do c" , moves to the bookmark called ' bookmark_name ' and then pastes the contents of textbox1

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop

Public Class Form1
    Dim wordapp As Word.ApplicationClass



    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        'open word document
        wordapp = New Word.Application
        Dim objdoc As Word.Document = wordapp.Documents.Open("c:\test")

        'go to bookmark
        wordapp.Selection.GoTo(What:=Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToBookmark, Name:="Bookmark_Name")

        ' enter text from textbox
        wordapp.Selection.TypeText(TextBox1.Text)

        'make document visible
        wordapp.Visible = True

    End Sub

End Class
