Method 1: Type a Valid Bookmark Name

Make sure each form field in the active document contains a valid bookmark name. To enter a bookmark name for a form field, double-click the form field to display the form field Options dialog box, and then, in the Bookmark Name box, type a valid bookmark name.

The following characters are invalid in a bookmark name:

Any character whose ASCII value is less than 29 and greater than 127.

-or-

Characters listed in the following table.

   Character ASCII code      Character ASCII code     Character ASCII code
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------

   -         Chr(30)         <Space>   Chr(32)         !         Chr(33)
   "         Chr(34)         #         Chr(35)         $         Chr(36)
   %         Chr(37)         &         Chr(38)         '         Chr(39)
   (         Chr(40)         )         Chr(41)         *         Chr(42)
   +         Chr(43)         ,         Chr(44)         -         Chr(45)
   .         Chr(46)         /         Chr(47)         :         Chr(58)
   ;         Chr(59)         <         Chr(60)         =         Chr(61)
   >         Chr(62)         ?         Chr(63)         @         Chr(64)
   [         Chr(91)         \         Chr(92)         ]         Chr(93)
   ^         Chr(94)         `         Chr(96)         {         Chr(123)
   |         Chr(124)        }         Chr(125)        ~         Chr(126)

Use the following macro example to assign a bookmark name to each form field that does not have a bookmark name:

Sub AddFormFieldName()

Dim x As Integer
Dim myField As FormField
Dim newDoc As Document

x = 1

   For Each myField In ActiveDocument.FormFields
      myField.Select
   
      If myField.Name = "" Then
         Application.WordBasic.FormFieldOptions Name:="Test" & x
         x = x + 1
      End If

   Next myField

End Sub

NOTE: Each form field that does not contain a bookmark name is assigned a bookmark name sequentially; for example, Test1, Test2, Test3, and so on.
