Field Automatic Duplication
I am trying to duplicate a field entry. Currently I am using a
MACROBUTTON-DoFieldClick, but I require the contents of the information I enter to be duplicated into another location of the page. The detail is the customers name. Ideally I would like to input the customers name at the top of the page, and it be duplicated to another location on the page. Sound plusable? |

Thank you for this, I didn't realise Word could do this. However its
not what I was looking for. If I was to type the customers name at the top of a letter, (i.e. MR. SMITH), I would like another field further down the letter to also include this same text, e.g. something like: {MACROBUTTON DoFieldClick = name1} ....Later on in the letter... {Field = name1} Thanks for your help. |

What does the "DoFieldClick" macro do? If it creates a bookmark, you can use
a REF field to repeat the data: { REF bookmark_name_here } -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "AMaleThing" wrote in message ... Thank you for this, I didn't realise Word could do this.

It creates an click-on field. e.g.: Dear: [ENTER NAME HERE]
It doesn't create a bookmark, but I like the idea. How can I create a bookmark, is there an easy guide to this? Thanks. |

So you are not really using the field to run a macro?
I'm not sure why you don't like the STYLEREF method (which can be used anywhere in the document, not just in headers and footers). But there are other methods for repeating data; see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "AMaleThing" wrote in message ...

From subsequent replies, it's evident that you're using the MacroButton
field in the same way as the MacroButton NoMacro field described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm. If that's the case, then applying a character style to the MacroButton field will result in that character style being applied to whatever is typed at the field position, which can then be repeated with a StyleRef field elsewhere in the document. -- Suzanne S.

This is certainly what I am after, thank you.
Is it possible to still use the Text Form Fields without protecting the document? I would still need to continue typing up my document, but repeat information though out. |

I apologise, but I dont understand the macro side of things. Is it
simple enough for someone to copy n paste an example? Don't mean to be checky, but Ive tried the examples but can't understand Suzannes suggestion, though it does sound correct. Thank you. |

The MacroButton NoMacro field, as explained at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm, doesn't actually run a macro. All it does is provide a space to easily type in data (because it allows for a prompt such as [Type name here], can be selected with a single click, and is overwritten when you type on it). If you apply a character style to that MacroButton field, whatever you type over the field will acquire that character style. You can then use a StyleRef field to reference the text that is formatted with that style (the text that you typed over the MacroButton field). The syntax of the StyleRef field is explained at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm, which also explains how to define a character style. -- Suzanne S.

No, form fields require the document to be protected.
