Perhaps if you were to proof-read your question, and re-phrase it a little
more clearly ...? Place *what* in a reference? "ah" wrote in message news Can anyone guide me on how to place in a reference into a form's field? |

place in a reference into a form's field
Thanks for your reply.
For your information, I've a form with the following form's field: Field 1: 1st name Field 2: Middle name Field 3: last name In order to combine the 1st, middle and last name together, I've tried to perform the following: I've created a bookmark called "name" for the above fields(Field 1, Field 2 & Field 3) Then, I created a reference as follows: {name} I've protected the form after the above is done. However, after the form is being protected, I did not manage to copy the reference contents. It is essential for me to copy the reference contents into my online system as the reference managed to combine the 1st, middle and last name together. Please advice how can i go about it? Or do you have any other better solutions to this? "Jezebel" wrote: Perhaps if you were to proof-read your question, and re-phrase it a little more clearly ...? Place *what* in a reference?

For each of the form fields, set the "Calculate on exit" option (in
the Text Form Field Options dialog box); this will force the cross-reference to update. Note, however, that you don't need to manually bookmark your form fields, because the fields create bookmarks automatically, using standard names (which you can change via the Text Form Field Options dialog box), and these can be cross-referenced directly. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "ah" wrote in message news Thanks for your reply.
