IncludeFieldCodes Property 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.

Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Range
myRange.TextRetrievalMode.IncludeFieldCodes = False
MsgBox myRange.Text

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

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