Re: Creating a visible field with a hidden component?

The easiest way to insert nested fields is to create them manually rather
than through code and then save them as AutoText. To insert the field using
code, you then insert the AutoText entry.

I need to create a field that will be inserted via VBA code. This will be
made up of nested fields. The outer field will use a Quote field with a
visible text element that will show in the document. Along with this is a
nested field which contains tags that I will parse for with another macro.
The issue is I need to make the second nested field not visible and also
easily parsable in code. I'm thinking of storing a delimited string in
this field to contain the various elements need later.

The only way I can think to do this is using the SEQ field with the \h.
Is this the only/best approach?

Here is what I want or similar:

{ QUOTE (CAUKEO) { SEQ AA-BB-CCCC \h } }

So later on I want to parse out the SEQ field associated with the QUOTE
and based on what it contains (i.e. does it include AA then..) do
something in the macro.

Any thoughts or insight on this approach?
