MappedDataFields object (Word)

A collection of MappedDataField objects that represents all the mapped data fields available in Microsoft Word.

Remarks

Use the MappedDataFields property of the MailMergeDataSource object to return the MappedDataFields collection. This example creates a tabbed list of the mapped data fields available in Word and the fields in the data source to which they are mapped. This example assumes that the current document is a mail merge document and that the data source fields have corresponding mapped data fields.

Sub MappedFields() 
 Dim intCount As Integer 
 Dim docCurrent As Document 
 Dim docNew As Document 
 
 On Error Resume Next 
 
 Set docCurrent = ActiveDocument 
 Set docNew = Documents.Add 
 
 'Add leader tab to new document 
 docNew.Paragraphs.TabStops.Add _ 
 Position:=InchesToPoints(3.5), _ 
 Leader:=wdTabLeaderDots 
 
 With docCurrent.MailMerge.DataSource 
 
 'Insert heading paragraph for tabbed columns 
 docNew.Content.InsertAfter "Word Mapped Data Field" _ 
 & vbTab & "Data Source Field" 
 
 Do 
 intCount = intCount + 1 
 
 'Insert Word mapped data field name and the 
 'corresponding data source field name 
 docNew.Content.InsertAfter .MappedDataFields( _ 
 Index:=intCount).Name & vbTab & _ 
 .MappedDataFields(Index:=intCount) _ 
 .DataFieldName 
 
 'Insert paragraph 
 docNew.Content.InsertParagraphAfter 
 Loop Until intCount = .MappedDataFields.Count 
 
 End With 
 
End Sub
