Adding text "automatically"
I've got a docuemtn in Word 2003 SP3 that is a contract document
The doc contains fields that i want to update often, eg: Name, Address, Phone etc when we issue the contract to different people. Is it possible to put a sort of Cover sheet on the document that contains all the changing bits of info, so that it automatically copies the data to the right place? In this, the name may be copied to 5 different places TIA |

Adding text "automatically"
Yes, You need to create a TEMPLATE with a User Form that opens up when you
open a new document from the template. Once you have filled in the information, the details will populate the document and the user form will close. See these FAQs for some help creating a User Form: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/index.htm -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Alan" wrote in message ...

Adding text "automatically"
I think I understand what you're looking for. There are probably many
ways to do this, but the one I always use is to create a 2-column table with the first column containing labels and the second containing my variables. I then create a new style for each variable and use the STYLEREF field (from Insert/Field) to place the variables in the document. Once you change the data in the table, you'll have to recalc the REF fields (you can use [Ctrl]+a followed by [F9]) to see them update. You could do it with bookmarks and the REF field, but I end up accidentally deleting the bookmarks On May 14, 5:08 am, "Alan" wrote: I've got a docuemtn in Word 2003 SP3 that is a contract document The doc contains fields that i want to update often, eg: Name, Address, Phone etc when we issue the contract to different people.
