Hello,
First of all, I apologize in advance; my question may be a bit silly.
Just to note: I am absolutely terrible at programming, in VB and everything else, and I can’t create a macro without a tutorial.
In my current job, I often export documents generated by a database into Word. The problem is that the filled fields (names, etc.) remain somewhat... well, grayed out, in a compact form, like a field (I warned you I was clueless).
At the slightest modification (layout, text, etc.), my fields turn into "error, source reference not found."
Currently, the only way for me to avoid this was to copy my text, paste it into Notepad, re-copy it from Notepad, and then paste it back... Not very fast!
Would you know how to create a macro that would convert all these fields into basic string characters?
Thank you in advance
