Sharing Header and Footer Info/Multiple Docs
Hi Folks - I am working on a project that involves creating numerous mail
merge docs. Each mail merge doc is based on its own main doc template (.dot) file. After creating almost one hundred documents, I was asked to place a particular merge field in the footer of the documents. In anticipation of a request of placing another field in the footer or header, I'd like to develop a method where all the main doc templates are based on a generic template where I can easily add header and footer info. In that way, if I do get another request to add info to all docs, I can easily make the change in the generic template, and it would be propagated to all my docs. Any thought/ideas? Thanks. -- Michael |

Sharing Header and Footer Info/Multiple Docs
You could create an AutoText entry with the required contents. Then, for each
document, insert an AUTOTEXTLIST field, which can be updated to reflect changes in the AutoText entry. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Michael" wrote: Hi Folks - I am working on a project that involves creating numerous mail merge docs.
