I am using the QR-Code DISPLAYBARCODE field. I am updating all DISPLAYBARCODE with some information like date and time, additionaly I want to add the page number on which the DISPLAYBARCODE field is.

For tables I would use the range field but this is not available for fields.

Is there a way how to do that?

If you want the page number to display as part of the QR Code, you could embed a page field in the text of the code. Something like:

  • { DisplayBarCode "{ Date } { Time } Page { Page }" QR \s 100 \r 0 \q 3 }

Note the quotation marks. They are necessary.

The DATE and TIME fields are the date and time when the document is printed or those fields are updated. They are not fixed timestamps.

I am working on the code for you to enter a field like the one shown.

  • Is that what you want?
  • Do you want to have the page, date, and time appear inside the DisplayBarCode field so that they show up when the bar code is read?
  • Do you instead of the current date and time want a time stamp for when the code is run?
  • What else goes in the field? The current content? Before or after the date, time and page?

Take a look at the second answer in this thread (from WillWillPower): Setting up a nested field in Word using VBA

It uses the range of the field code.
