Doc I/O cannot display DocVariable Value

[Vinod K Bobba]

1) Not able to Access the DocVariable from Word document in my .cs file.


I looked at sample,

Created a DocVariable in my Word document....and later had this code in the .cs file.

WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();
doc.Open("Sample.doc");
DocVariables v = document1.Variables;
//Add a variable
v.Add("var1", "Author Name");
//Add / modify variables:
v["var2"] = "change name";
Console.WriteLine("Number of Variables:" + document1.Variables.Count.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Variable Name:" + document1.Variables.GetNameByIndex(0));
Console.WriteLine("Varaible Value:" + document1.Variables.GetValueByIndex(0));

doc.Save("SampleModified.doc");

Now, I my problem was....I am not able to display the DocVariable value.

Hi Vijay,

That's exactly what I was doing, but the DocVariable value is only displayed when I right click on the variable and click edit field.

I tried to use macro to update the field and it works.


But the problem is, When I have the DocVariable nested in a Table, it doesn't work.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.
