Word VBA updating a 'Field'

Does manual updating work? (F9)

Eirman, it's a placeholder that I need to update from some textboxes on a UserForm.
No, F9 would do nothing.

I now think these are Content Controls.
I'm thinking I should be able to update it like this. But it's not right, because the intellisense doesn't come up.

ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Status").Text = "Hello"

Select allOpen in new window

It might be a bookmark. If so, and if it's name is "IssueStatus" ("Issue Status" is illegal as a bookmark name) then try, after adding an 's' to FormField:

ActiveDocument.FormFields("IssueStatus").Result = "Hello"

Select allOpen in new window

If it's just a bookmark without being a FormField name then

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("IssueStatus").Range.text= "Hello"

Select allOpen in new window

If that doesn't work either, post a non-confidential sample.
Note that you can use Find/GoTo to see the bookmark names in the document. Also Alt+F9 with toggle the display of fields in the Selection between result and code.

Oops. cross-posted.
SelectContentControlsByTag returns a collection, so try

ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Status")(1).Text = "Hello

Select allOpen in new window

"

Select the control and click Properties in the Developer tab to see the Tag and Title names

Graham, I have attached a piece of the document. See the 'box' [Status]

Brilliant Graham. Thanks!
