Word Developer Reference

Syntax

expression.TextInput

expression   An expression that returns a FormField object.

Remarks

If the TextInput property is applied to a FormField object that isn't a drop-down form field, the property won't fail, but the Valid property for the returned object will be False.

Use the Result property with the FormField object to return or set the contents of a TextInput object, as follows:

Example

This example protects the active document for forms and deletes the contents of the form field named "Text1."

Visual Basic for Applications 
  ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").TextInput.Clear

If the first form field in the active document is a text form field that accepts regular text, this example sets the contents of the form field.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set myField = ActiveDocument.FormFields(1)
If myField.Type = wdFieldFormTextInput And _
    myField.TextInput.Type = wdRegularText Then
    myField.Result = "Hello"
End If
