Auto Populate
I am working with a Word template and have to enter the same information in
multiple parts of the word document. Is there any way I can format the document so that I just enter something once (like an ID#) and set the document to automatically populate this information wherever else I designate it to poplutate? |

That worked. You are awesome! That just saved me about an hour a day in
labor! "Peter A" wrote: In article , says... I am working with a Word template and have to enter the same information in multiple parts of the word document.

Yes. First, define the location where you will originally enter the info as a bookmark. Then, in the other locations, insert a cross-reference to that bookmark. -- Peter Aitken Author, MS Word for Medical and Technical Writers www.tech-word.com |

Auto Populate
Either I am looking for something more advanced or I am not completely
understanding this process. I would like to be able to set up a template that can be used over and over but changing a piece of text throughout the document by typing it only once. So if I input a company name once it is populated in 10 other places throughout the document automatically without any other steps necessary. Is this possible?
