 Dim intFields As Integer 
 Dim intCount As Integer 
 
 For Each pagPage In ActiveDocument.Pages 
 For Each shpShape In pagPage.Shapes 
 If shpShape.Type = pbTextFrame Then 
 intCount = intCount + shpShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Fields.Count 
 End If 
 Next 
 Next 
 If intCount > 0 Then 
 MsgBox "You have " & intCount & " fields in your publication." 
 Else 
 MsgBox "You have no fields in your publication." 
 End If 
End Sub
