How do i edit Text Form Field (legacy forms) in my document, so that i can then use new value of this field in my VBA script?

I have simple form with Text Form Field (Bookmark = TextFormField1). It is showing default text “default text”.

I can access text of this field like this: ActiveDocument.FormFields("TextFormField1").Range.Text

However, if i change value of this field, it seems to delete the field itself, and replacing it with simple text – causing ActiveDocument.FormFields("TextFormField1").Range.Text to throw exception, because TextFormField1 does not exist anymore…

What am i doing wrong? How can i insert text in form field, and use this text in my VBA script?

    Use the Result property:

    ActiveDocument.FormFields("TextFormField1").Result = "Form field text"
