What is a DOCVARIABLE in word

Question

What is a DOCVARIABLE in Microsoft Word 2003? How do I set it? How do I make it display in my Word document?

Answer 1

I was also looking for an answer to this question. Created a small script to display all ActiveDocument.Variables

Here is it:

Sub GetVariables()
    ' Declaration of output variavle, which is a string
    Dim output As String
    output = ""

    For Each Variable In ActiveDocument.Variables
        ' & is used for string concatenation.
        output = output & Variable.Name & " = " & Variable & vbNewLine
    Next

    MsgBox output
End Sub
