copy text entered in a form to other location on a form
Hi there, Is there anyone who can tell me how i can get text that is entered
into a textbox on a word form to be filled into other textboxes elsewhere in the same form. I believe it will require some VB coding to be entered but it would be helpful if someone can tell me how to do this step by step. As i have never used VB before thanks |

No VB required. In the other locations, insert a cross reference to the
text of the bookmark into which the data will be entered and set the "Calculate on exit" property for that formfield so that the cross reference fields are updated with the data entered into the field on exit from that field. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Huskydutchboy" wrote in message ...

hi Doug
thanks for the quick response. Just another question. Is there any way to get the crossreference field shaded the same as the original textbox? henk "Doug Robbins" wrote: No VB required.

Field shading for other than form fields is a user-specific setting.
