MappedDataFields Collection

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

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.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  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
