What is a DOCVARIABLE in word

How do I make it display in my word document:

Insert->Field->Category:DocumentAutomation->Field Names:DocVariable->Field COdes Button-> Then enter the name of the variable.


You can use the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Variables collection to set and retrieve the contents of a string variable in a Word document or template.

Also, you can use the DocVariable field to retrieve the value of a document variable after it has been set to display within a Word document.

' Retrieve the contents of the document variable.
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Variables("FullName").Value
