Is it possible to create a document variable using vbs?

[NikVladi]

If yes, then how? Need something like this:

ActiveDocument.Variables.Create("myNewVariable")

[NikVladi]

ActiveDocument.CreateVariable("MyVariable")

For what it's worth, here's the standard bit of code I use in my QV Modules for setting, getting and creating Variables.

Rem *** Returns a Variables content as String
Function GetVariableString(varname)
  GetVariableString = GetVariable(varname).GetContent.String
End Function

Rem ** Gets a variable and creates it if it doesn't exist
Function GetVariable(varname)
  If typename(ActiveDocument.GetVariable(varname)) <> "Variable" Then
    ActiveDocument.CreateVariable(varname) 
    ActiveDocument.GetVariable(varname).SetContent "", True
  End If
  Set GetVariable = ActiveDocument.GetVariable(varname)
End Function ' GetVariable

Rem ** Sets a Variable's value
Sub SetVariable(varname, value)
  GetVariable(varname).SetContent value, False
End Sub
