[AccessD] Inserting text in a word document

Ditto on WordBasic

I often protect documents for formfields so insertafter doesn't work if you 
set the bookmark property for a Word textbox field.  This lets me set 
default values in a form.

        owdDoc.Bookmarks("ProjectName").Select
        owdApp.Selection.Text = strProjectName

where owdDoc is an object variable pointing to a Word.Document and owdApp is 
an object variable pointing to an instance of Word in which the Document is 
open.

My system sends a collection of data elements from one or more recordsets 
using a key matching the first portion of the bookmark name up to a 
delimiter.  The balance of the bookmark name determines formatting 
properties.  A second delimited part of the bookmark name allows bookmarks 
drawing from the same data collection item to write to multiple bookmarks 
(you can't have more than one bookmark with the same name in a document).  
This way, the document controls the formatting of the data.  In some 
documents you may want "Wednesday, the 4th day of September) where as other 
documents are fine with "9/4/2006".  Also, if a field, like a person's name 
appears more than once, "John;", "John;1" and "John;2" can all pull the 
collecion 'John' item.

I iterate the Document's bookmark collection and throw the matching 
collection item at the bookmark.  Generally I use a recordset's field name 
or alias as the collection key.
