As in Excel, one can create custom functions and call them from within Excel itself.<br />
<br />
Any such method in Word? &nbsp;Such as embedding functions within the Word doc so that they return a value in the document? &nbsp;I'm trying to avoid a search and replace.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
My name is {getName()}.<br />

Word Vba - embed function in to a Word document

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
