This may be answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. I think it is
simple, but one never know. I want to have various pieces of text in my
document to act like a field. i.e. I want "Aerial Survey" to appear in
multiple places but have only one source. So that if I change the wording
for "Aerial Survey", to "Aerial Topographic Survey", it will change
everywhere in the document. I do not want to protect the document. I can't
seem to figure out how to do this. Word 2003 please.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but if you if you need to change a word,
i.e., "arerial survey," to "aerial topographic survey," you could do so with
Find & Replace. Just click Edit, Find, Find & Replace.
