Word form fields properties export

Question

I have a big set of different word documents that are built as forms. Each document has its own fields.

I would like to gather all the properties of these fields and from all documents in a table in excel.

Note, that I do not want the data inputted in the fields but instead the values of the properties for each field

For example:

Doc1	Field1	Type	value of Type
Doc1	Field1	Maximun length	value of Maximum length
Doc1	Field1	Bookmark	value of Bookmark
Doc1	Field2	Type	value of Type
Doc1	Field2	Maximun length	value of Maximum length
Doc1	Field2	Bookmark	value of Bookmark

Is there a way to do this export ?

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Using the following VBA code, you can get the properties of a formfield

Dim FF As FormField

For Each FF In ActiveDocument.FormFields

FF.Type 

FF.TextInput.Width 

FF.Name 

Next

to do it for a series of documents, see the following page of Graham Mayor's website
