Form fields with Related fields

I have a two page form. Page 1 contains form fields that users enter in data. Page 2 containts fields that are "referencing" the results of several of the fields on page 1. After completing the document, one of our users would like to send page 2 ONLY to one of his clients for review, but if he deletes out page 1, the results will be deleted from page 2 making the document useless. QUESTION - is there a way to SAVE the document or something so that the results are permanent in the fields that are referenced? I know in EXCEL you can copy and paste the values so that the formulas are gone - is there something similar like this in Word??? On page 2, select the fields (or the whole page) and press Ctrl+Shift+F9, which is the shortcut for the Unlink Field command. That changes the current contents of the fields to plain text. Then page 1 can be deleted without altering the fields (because they aren't fields any longer). Obviously, do this in a copy of the original document. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
