In Word, you can automate frequently used tasks by creating and running macros. A macro is a series of commands and instructions that you group together as a single command to accomplish a task automatically. To save time on tasks you do often, bundle the steps into a macro.
Summary: My company sends out letters to customers and wants me to write a macro to fill in different text form fields that have been set up in a word document since a very limited amount of things change between different letters sent out. I've done macros in excel, but this is my first encounter with ms-word macros
Problem: I've had a hard time finding effective, intelligent navigation through ms-word. I did find this article about moving in different directions which is really the same as the arrow keys. Was hoping to get some insight into the best way to navigate the word document. For example should I do a loop of moving to the right 1 space until I find something meaningful or is there a more effective way?
Question: Is it possible to store a specific form location in a variable or does ms-word have no coordinate system?
