Hi,

You can write code for that. I have a code snippet. Hope you know how to write code in VSTO

 public void FormEvents_Loading(object sender, LoadingEventArgs e)
        {

          //calling function on form load event.

            this.GetGroupNames();
        }

 private void GetGroupNames()
{
              string strGroups = "";
            
  //store All group names of current user seperated by comma
   foreach (SPGroup group in SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Groups)           
       {

              strGroups = strGroups + ", " + group.Name.ToString();
       }
           
         XPathNavigator field1 = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1",   NamespaceManager);
            field1.SetValue(strGroups);
 }
