How can I link specific information from one document to another?
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? |

How can I link specific information from one document to another?
Hi ?B?bGFzc2E4NA==?=,
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. 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".
