Hi:
I have created an agenda/minutes template and want to populate parts of the
meeting minutes portion of the document from data entered into the agenda
portion. For example: Meeting Date. I only want to have to type it in
once in the agenda and then have it automatically populate in the
corresponding box in the minutes.
Likewise, I would like each topic in the agenda to populate automatically in
the topic sections in the minutes.

The staff using the template are not computer savvy so I need something that
can be protected from accidental deletions/adulterations.

I have form field dropdown boxes, form field check boxes and form field
text boxes in the document thus far.

Can anyone provide any suggestion? Are form fields the way to go???? Or
bookmarks???

Thank you so much for your help.
