Populated content controls in a word document won't be read by VBA

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

Hi, I'm populating content controls in a word tamplate with power automate.

Then, I'd like to convert them in plain text with a VBA macro.

The method contentcontrol.delete (false) should work only on the control and keep the content, but what I actually get is that all the fields turn blank.

The text is retained only if the control is edited by hand.

It seems that VBA won't read the content filled in by power automate.
Any hint?

 

Thank you in advance.
