Suzanne,
Forgive me for I am unfamiliar with AutoText field. I looked into creating
AutoText Fields but not quite sure how they are managed. I am assuming that
I should create them such that they are stored in the Normal.dot. Correct?
If so, then I should open each template, this one last time, and replace the
name with the AutoText and save the template. Then if I create a new
document based off that template, it should be created with the AutoText but
it will require the user to unlink this AutoText prior to saving the file.
Is this correct?
Sorry if I am not making the connections....

You could save the president's name as an AutoText entry and insert it in
the template as an AutoText field. When you change the entry, the field will
be updated. In the documents you create based on the templates, though, you
will want to unlink the field so that the text will not update.

Sorry about the corny subject but I couldn't resist.
I am looking for some options adn cleanest solutions.
We have several hundred templates that have let's say the company
president's name and graphic in the header and footer. Every couple of
years we need to change the president's name and we are currently having
to
edit each of the templates.
What are some solutions that will allow us to make a single change that
affects all the templates but not the documents that have been previously
created by those templates?
