I am trying to make a document to where certain areas of it need different
information, I don't wanna do a merge..... I was wondering if there was a way to highlight the areas I want to change in the document, and tab to those areas everytime I wanna change them???? Does that make sence? |

What you are describing sounds like a proteted form. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne, that is kinda what Iam looking for, I work in an accounting firm,
and the accountant wanted me to figure out an easy was to write a letter to our clients, that mostly says the same thing, but she wanted certain words in each letter changed, so she wanted me to see if there were a way to make certain areas easy to change, instead of looking for the words that need to be changed and deleting them, and then retyping, she wanted more or less the form type, but in a letter..???? I don't know, it is sort of confusing "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: What you are describing sounds like a proteted form.

Have you read the suggested articles? Note that if there are several
alternatives for wording, you can use a dropdown form field. OTOH, if this is a letter to go out to a lot of clients at the same time with variable content, then perhaps what you need is a mail merge; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...AMailMerge.htm -- Suzanne S.
