find all templates with MergeField 1

[keenanbr]

I recently asked and got info on finding all .dot with a particular bookmark. Is it possible to find all .dot with a particular mergefield.

thanks in advance

When you have each file open (with the other code) you can try something like:

Dim oField As Word.Field

[COLOR=red]' the other code to get at each file[/color red]

For Each oField In ActiveDocument.Fields()
    If oField.Type = wdFieldMergeField Then
[COLOR=red]   ' do whatever test you want on the MergeField
    ' what exactly are you looking for?[/color red]
    End If
Next
