Creating a master list
OK everyone I am just learning about this stuff.
I need to make a long masterlist of comments that have a specific bullet point number. For example " GEN 001 The building needs an exit. CBC 100 " The masterlist will have hundreds of such bullets with different comments. I then want people to take a document and then just type in the 'GEN 001' and word will automatically take the comment from the masterlist and insert into my customized list. How do I go about this? Thanks, |

How do I go about this? version of Word? I'm not _quite_ sure in which way this is supposed to work. If the people working with your documents need to replicate some of your master list entries, one possibility is: Create a template, in it a dedicated style, insert each of these list entries and save them as AUTOTEXT entries (saved in this template!), and insert an AUTOTEXTLIST field. With such a field, in a new document based on this template, the users should be able to select from all the AUTOTEXTS. When your master lists becomes really large, then autocorrect entries might be another approach. Or a Userform where the user sees practically each entry of the list and checks the one he wants. 0.2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
