Fields to populate a document
All I want to do is create a template in which the same text entry is
repeated numerous times throughout the document. Say, a person's first name. I want to enter it once and have it repeated throughout the document in various places I choose. This must be possible but I can't figure out which field option will accomplish this seemingly simple task. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Y |

Fields to populate a document
From Word Help:
{ [REF] Bookmark [Switches ] } Inserts the text or graphics represented by the specified bookmark (bookmark: A location or selection of text in a file that you name for reference purposes. Bookmarks identify a location within your file that you can later refer or link to.). The bookmark must be defined in the active document (active document: The document in which you're working. Text you type or graphics you insert in Microsoft Word appear in the active document. The title bar of the active document is highlighted.). To insert bookmarked text or graphics from another document, use the INCLUDEPICTURE or INCLUDETEXT field. The Cross-reference command (Insert menu, Reference command) inserts REF fields to create cross-references. In most cases, you can use the bookmark name instead of the REF field. Using the REF field is optional except in cases where a bookmark name matches a Microsoft Word field name. For example, if the bookmark name is "Title", which matches the Word field name TITLE, you must use the REF field instead of the bookmark name. The field { REF Title } inserts the text represented by the "Title" bookmark, whereas the field { Title } inserts the contents of the Title box on the Summary tab in the Properties dialog box (File menu). Note When you insert text copied from another location in the same document, the Paste Special command (Edit menu) inserts a REF field with the bookmark INTER_LINKn, where n is incremented automatically. You should not edit an INTER_LINKn bookmark in a REF field. Also note that REF fields with INTER_LINKn bookmarks in a mail merge main document can cause errors during merging. What I do is go to Insert\Field and choose the Ref option. "Yacbo" wrote: All I want to do is create a template in which the same text entry is repeated numerous times throughout the document.
