Find legacy form field names in Word

By Jetformat

Inspect the field inventory before building --set arguments for word fill-fields. Matching visible labels is not sufficient when the internal field name differs.

Steps

1. Start with a local DOCX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
2. Run the command below. Read the returned data before choosing a follow-up edit.
3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.

Check the result

Copy the exact field name into the filling command; if no fields appear, check whether the template uses content controls instead.

Notes and limits

This is a free utility or read operation. It does not need a paid conversion to inspect the result.

Run jetformat word form-fields --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the word command reference for the surrounding workflow.
