I've tried searching the mailing list but have been unable to find
anything that specifically applies.
Can someone remember off the top of their head how to make a macro
modify the text inside a variable.
Basically, I have this template document with fields with names like
'client', 'location', 'farm #', and 'distance'. I need to be able to
open the document, and do a macro that takes text from the clipboard
and modifies the particular variables.
I can make the text on the clipboard any format I want, like
client: Jo Smith
location: Seattle
farm #: 1123
because it will be coming out of another spreadsheet program.
Can anyone drop me a quick line on how to do the above? Thanks!

Let me restate your problem.
You want to
read data from the clipboard
parse the data from the clipboard
store the data in text fields
Download my free macro document, look at the section titled "Getting the
content-type of the Clipboard".
Depending on the text field type, you should be able to get the text
fields with examples from the document as well.
Worst case, use this as a starting point
oEnum = ThisComponent.getTextFields().createEnumeration()
