Is there a way to "link" two fields in a Word document so that when I enter
info in the first field it is automatically entered into the second field?
It is not a standard field, such as date or page number, but different info
each time. The way it works now is that I have to enter identical info
separately in both fields. The Word document will not be merged into or with
any other document.

Hi ?B?TGlzYSBNVA==?=,

Is there a way to "link" two fields in a Word document so that when I enter
info in the first field it is automatically entered into the second field?
It is not a standard field, such as date or page number, but different info
each time. The way it works now is that I have to enter identical info
separately in both fields.

Please specify the types of fields.

General answer: No. But you could bookmark one of them and
Insert/Cross-reference to display the content in another place.

Anything else would probably require a macro solution.

From the FAQ

19. How can I enter something once in a document and have it repeat
elsewhere?
