Default Entering the same text many times over...

As Robert says, this is the job of the Title document property. For other
approaches, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm.

Hi there,
I hope someone can help me. I'm pulling together quite a large document

that
constantly refers to the title. This document will be used over and over
again on each project. Basically the document will stay the same with the
exception of the title.
Could someone please let me know if it is possible to make somekind of
'reference cell' and then make all the other 'text cells' throughtout the
document 'copy' the reference cell? (Sorry I haven't explained this very
well.)

In Excel these is quite easy. To make one cell duplicate whatever is typed
into another cell, just enter '=' and then click on the cell to be

duplicated.
Can something similar happen in a Word 2003 document?

Following is an example;

(Project Title = Darren)

The works to be carried out at (Project Title) are required by the end of
2007. The main point of contact for (Project Title) is the Project

Manager.
It is the Project Manager's duty to ensure all the works carried out at
(Project Title) are safe and of suitable quality.
On completion of (Prpject Title) there will be a party!
Everyone who was involved on (Project Title) will be invited.

I hope you have the idea of what I am trying to achieve and can help.

All the Best,
Darren
