Syntax

expression. IncludeFieldCodes

expression An expression that returns a 'TextRetrievalMode' object.

Example

This example displays the text of the first paragraph in the active document in a message box. The example uses the IncludeFieldCodes property to exclude field codes.

Dim rngTemp As Range 
 
Set rngTemp = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Range 
 
rngTemp.TextRetrievalMode.IncludeFieldCodes = False 
MsgBox rngTemp.Text

This example excludes field codes and hidden text from the range that refers to the selected text, and then it displays the text in a message box.

Dim rngTemp As Range 
 
If Selection.Type = wdSelectionNormal Then 
 Set rngTemp = Selection.Range 
 With rngTemp.TextRetrievalMode 
 .IncludeHiddenText = False 
 .IncludeFieldCodes = False 
 End With 
 MsgBox rngTemp.Text 
End If
