I have word document with bookmarks. There are some cross-references to this bookmarks values. All cross-reference are in text and has Arial 10 style.
For example, i have bookmark with "Test text", and cross-ref to this bookmark. But then i update fields word Test is normal Arial 10, but word text become Times New Roman 9 (first word save style of the text, which around my field, but second word become another (maybe standart for field) style).
I think, it's related to my Field Code - { REF BookmarkName \h \* MERGEFORMAT }
How to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Is there a way to automatically update the content of a word field based on a text I type?
i.e. I have a table with two cells. The left cell contains a QR Code generated by
{ Displaybarcode "Just a Text " QR \s 40 \t }
The rigtht cell contains "Just a text"
Is there a way to update the QR code (actually a word field) based on what I type in the right cell?
So, if I change the text to "I just changed that text!"
I would get this:
I do not mind pressing Ctrl-F9, but I would not want to edit the field itself.
Is that possible?

I would put the area for the text in a mapped Content Control and use a copy of that control in the DisplayBarCode field as the text portion. The field would need to be updated.
Here is another Add-In to produce Mapped Content Controls by MVP Graham Mayor.
Here is a video by Laura Townsend on how to do it yourself.
Here is the Walkthrough page on mapping to an XML part from Microsoft.
I am looking for a component which of the typed text the user is looking for regex. If it finds the indicated text, the text will be tagged.
It is possible to configure input / text edytor components to work this way?
as a result, as I write the day of the week in the text, it will be marked as a tag. It looks like it can be a text field with the ability to set patterns so that tags are tagged.
For example in Jira application, when we enter a text and input component recognize that the text contains First and last name that highlights these words
I have an SSRS report that has Spanish and English text boxes. If the dataset row is a Spanish speaking person, an expression in each Spanish textbox shows that and hides the English textbox. These textboxes are exactly placed over each other.
My boss wants me to use SSRS to generate an Excel spreadsheet from the dataset(this is not hard) and use Word template for a mail merge. However, I am having trouble trying to figure out if I can hide all English when row is a Spanish row and vice versa. These are health clients of Spanish and English nationality.
I can do mail merges attached to a Recordset, I can do one in English, one in Spanish. I am trying to avoid this and have it all in one Mail Merge.
Areas marked in red will change to Spanish translation and/or date format. The dates are a no-brainer I can use a conditional IIF, however the formatted body I have no solution for, based on value in Field "CL_Language" which is either "Spanish" or "English".
====================================
The merge fields for dates and greeting are easy. There is no merge field for the text. And yes, only option might be for 2 separate reports with different Recordsets.
It's not clear what the actual issue is but...
Instead of hiding textboxes, which could cause problems when exporting etc., why not set a single textbox to the correct language text using an expression?
Something along the lines of
=IIF(Fields!Language.Value = "English", Fields!MyEnglishText.Value, FieldsMySpanishText.Value)
I found a solution. But it could be very difficult for the client to create. It involves hitting Ctrl + F9 which will create curly brackets {}.
Inside those curly brackets an IF statement is placed and I just pasted the whole Spanish formatted body in the true area, and the whole English body in the false area.
{IF "CL_Language" = "Spanish" "spanish body text here" "english body text here"}
Very strange syntax and you need to right click on the area to see choices like "Toggle Field Codes" (IF statement get's hidden), "Edit Field", and "Update Field". With Edit Field and Update Field you get a popup with the fields in your recordset.
If you saw the examples in my question, you can see that is some big clunky text AND . . .inside of it is a merge field that works! The Excel recordset comes already with the month name in correct language for each row.
Since it is not smart to include links that might expire, I am including the Google text I used to find this solution. Then I took a chance on a huge formatted chunk of text with a merge field inside of it.
Google this: "If Merge Field then"
Now is this a viable solution for the client versus just having a Word template for each language?
I think this is too difficult and I even duck when running it. Also, once it's working, if I look at the toggled code, the Conditional field no longer says the field name, but the value in the field, go figure.
{IF "Spanish" = "Spanish" or {IF "English" = "Spanish" instead of {IF "CL_Language" = "Spanish" or {IF "CL_Language" = "English"
Here is how to access the fields using right click. (remember, your curly brackets HAVE to be created with Control + F9).
I have been trying to change the numbering style of my figure and table captions. All of my headings are in Roman numerical. However, I want Arabic numerical in my caption numbering. Could anyone tell me an easy way to do it at once? Below is an example:
Heading title: "Chapter V". My captions appear as "Figure V-2". However, I want them to appear as "Figure 5-2"
Also, is there any way I can select all figure caption fields at once and edit their field code?
To change in one caption: Press Alt-F9 and remove \* ARABIC .
Ctrl+A, F9 to update fields.
Now to change in all captions: try with a search and replace (Ctrl+H) to replace SEQ Figure \* Arabic \s 1 with SEQ Figure \s 1
To modify all field codes, you could use search & replace or you can modify field codes in VBA this way:
Sub ChangeAllFields()
'does not process headers/footers
Dim oFld As Field
For Each oFld In ActiveDocument.Fields
fld.Code = Replace(fld.Code, "SEQ Figure \* ARABIC \s 1", "SEQ Figure \s 1")
Next oFld
End Sub
When you insert captions from now on, change the numbering in the dialog box that pops up. I think you'll have to change it every time, because Word (correctly) defaults to matching the Roman numerals in your chapter headings to Roman numerals in your captions. If you want to be abnormal, you'll have to change from the default every time you insert a caption, or change them all using one of the methods from Toon Flores.
p.s. I said "abnormal" because every style manual I've ever seen would frown on what you are doing.
I have created a textfile as a datasource for a mailmerge in microsoft word. This is working great. Now, i have fields which contains multiline values. When I use this field in the template it creates a "hard" line break (paragraph mark). What does I have to insert into the textfile, that word will creating a "soft" line break (manual line break)?
first:apologize for bad english grammar or vocabulary use.
the way is working with {quote} in ms-word, for example {quote 11} is line break or {quote 12} is page break.
to set it in your document, you should familiar with fields.
press Ctrl+F9 to insert field and then insert "quote ##" (## is any number charchode) in it. then press F9 to Enter and execute.
0x0b (i.e. "Vertical Tab") is probably the only way to do it, but I would check that you don't get document corruption in the output.
