| | MS Word. Extracting text from a field  Hi guysIs it possible to extract and display part of a field? If I insert "{FILENAME \* Upper\* MERGEFORMAT}" into the document footer it returns the entire filename - ie "DOC2072XB" in this instance. The way the filename is constructed is "DOC2072" is the document reference and "XB" is it's revision. I'd like to be able to display these two items separately. I tried "{=left(FILENAME,7) \* Upper\* MERGEFORMAT}" and "{=right(FILENAME,2) \* Upper\* MERGEFORMAT}" as a wild guess but it doesn't work! If I've explained what I want to do properly, and it makes sense, does anyone know if what I want to do it possible? If so, how? Cheers, Gary |
