Automatic Fields
Short answer - you can't. A FillIn field is one question, one answer in one
location. Period. If you need the same answer in different places, use an ASK field and REF fields instead. See the Ask and FillIn field tutorial at http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm#Tutorials for an explanation of the differences between how these fields work. You can create a UserForm for multiple questions, answers, but you'll have to be able to do vba programming. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm If the other text in your document is not changing, you may want to explore what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.
