I have an application that is roughly 18 pages long that has some repeated
information in it. My goal is to create a one or two page Word or Excel
document with all of the required information in one, easy-to-read place so
that an applicant can enter the required information in that document and it
is then automatically entered into the appropriate places on the actual
application.

For example, there are many places for your name and birthdate, so instead
of entering it multiple times, I'd like to create a document where you enter
your name an it is placed on pages 1, 6, 12, and 16 without having to
manually enter the data.

Is this possible?

Hi ?B?bGFzc2E4NA==?=,

I have an application that is roughly 18 pages long that has some repeated

document with all of the required information in one, easy-to-read place so
that an applicant can enter the required information in that document and it

your name an it is placed on pages 1, 6, 12, and 16 without having to
manually enter the data.

I recommend a Word document, rather than an Excel workbook.

Enter each individual piece of information, select it, then use Insert/Bookmark
to assign it a "name".

In the document where you want to display the information, Insert/File and
select that document. Click "Range" to enter the name of the bookmark. If you
just want to insert the information, click "Insert". If you want a dynamic link
(so that if you update the text in that document, it updates in this document),
use the arrow next to "Insert" and choose the option with "Link".
