How to make the same information show in different Content controls in Word 2007
Hello Everyone,
Here is the situation. Presently we have a document we give to all our customers, the document basically stays the same, just that the client name and details changes. The client name is repeated a lot of times. Presently we have a standard document that we open and just replace the standard client name. We have just moved to Office 2007 and with all the learning that people have to do to get up to speed with the new interface we are finding it difficult to get them to use the find and replace all command and not mess up the document in any other way I was just playing around with Word 2007 and saw this interesting feature- content controls and how they could be filled up using the Document information panel. I saw a demonstration of how it works with WSS where they only have to fill up the information once in the document information panel and the information gets propagated to all the controls in the document. We are not using WSS right now. So I would like to know if it would be possible to have the same functionality with just Word 2007 without WSS, so that the users just have to fill out the information in the DIP and then forget about it? Thanks Dave |

Thanks Doug. The add-in that can be found at
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Mapped_Content_Control.htm pretty much does what I want but it would so much better if it were possible to see all this information in the document information panel. Would it be possible the content controls in the Document Information Panel. Thanks Dave "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...
