Populate content controls in (macro enabled) word file from PAD?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3

Hello hive mind

 

I need to populate some content controls in a macro enabled word document with dynamic variables.

I'd love to be able to just use the populate word doc function in PA cloud but it doesn't work with macro enabled docs!

 

Is it possible to run a VB script from PA desktop (or cloud) that will populate my file with dynamic values?

 

thanks in advance!

    Hi @he184468 

    Yes, you can search for some VBA macros that can edit a content control and that will make it easy to convert it into a vbscript (if required) or directly use a macro.
