Add text to "Author" field without replacing existing text

[fracture62]

Hello,

so I am running a script that processes a document and sets certain text inside the author field, for that I use:

Code: Select all

oDoc.getDocumentProperties().Author = cPrintText

however some documents have pre-existing text in the author field, and this will overwrite it.

How would I go about keeping the existing text in the field and just adding the wanted text to it?

Have your code read the existing text, then append the new to it and write it back.

That's done with &

Assuming you want a space " " between old and new

Code: Select all

oDoc.getDocumentProperties().Author =  oDoc.getDocumentProperties().Author & " " & cPrintText
