I want to return the value in column C based on two user-defined fields that will be contained in column A and column B. For example, for company1 and field3 I want to return '54' and for 'company3' and 'field5' I want to return 'Pig'. The Excel data layout is shown in the attachment. I am happy to hard code the two search criteria (Company and Field).
Once that is sorted I would to map the value to pre-defined bookmarks in Word. The bookmarks match the names found in column B.
A simple worksheet formula will do this.
If you enter a company choice in E2, and field choice in F2, then this formula in G2:
=INDEX($C$2:$C$16, MATCH(E2&F2, INDEX($A$2:$A$16 & $B$2:$B$16, 0), 0))

I'm afraid that doesn't work. I am working in VBA in a Word document. I need to use VBA to perform the multi-criteria lookup into Excel. It is just the lookup code I need now.
