I need to have things like part numbers and customer names appear in many
locations in a word document.
Is there a way to type the information once and have it duplicated in the
other locations on the same document?

Two main ways --

1. Define the pieces of information as Document Properties (File
Properties Custom), then use DocProperty fields where you want the
information to appear.

2. Define the first instance of the information within the document as a
Bookmark (Insert Bookmark) then use REF fields elsewhere.

This starts to answer my question as well, although I don't know how to
connect the "ref" you spoke of. I am working with Office 2000 and am a
newbie at programming.
