Hi everyone,
I'm working on some Word automation, and I have this kind of field in my doc :
I can read the value of these fields, but how can I change their values ? After getting the UIAObject, I don't know what to do to set a new value.
Thx
I'm not sure how to get UIAObjects to appear in Word.
You might be able to use Sys.OleObject("Word.Application") and modify the field values
Unfortunately I can't get Sys.OleObject to work properly. I get this error on line 2 :
1. var objWordApp = Sys.OleObject("Word.Application");
2. var wordDoc = objWordApp.ActiveDocument;
"Command not available: no document is open."
You will have to open the document like,
function main()
{
var MsWord = Sys.OleObject("Word.Application");
MsWord.Visible = true;
// https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.documents.open
MsWord.Documents.Open("C:\\Temp\\Word.docx");
}
Refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/overview/word/object-model to try and gain access to the objects you need. Hopefully, there should be examples on the internet, most likely written in VB Script, but it should give you a rough idea.
I cannot do this. The docx file is not located on the local pc, but on a distant server loaded by a custom plugin. (there is no tmp file, everything is done in ram). Si I can't call "Documents.Open"
in the meanwhile, I work with LLP but I'm not happy with this.
