Default Word 2003 - Dynamic Templates

Oh.. And there is one more think.

I would like to be able to change/replace whole Header and/or Footer:
text, formating, images, autotexts(page number, number of sites).

So.. In the end I would like to have:
- 1 Template File with Header and Footer
- XX number of Contract Files which are using Header and Footer from
Template File, and will automatically change when I edit Template
File.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you for suggestion.

In order to your first suggestion I should be able to change this
macro to work properly, but I don't fully understand your second one.
Replace it with bookmarked section? What do you mean exactly? How can
I do this?

How about new templates? I will have to create 15 new contracts and
again with different content and the same Header and Footer. Is there
a way to create new files with capability to changing Headers and
Footers automatic in all those new files?

Best regards,

With existing templates you have two choices. Either use a batch replace
process to replace the changed text in the templates -http://www.gmayor..com/batch_replace.htmshouldget you started though you
will need to change the line myFile = Dir$(PathToUse & "*.doc") to myFile =
Dir$(PathToUse & "*.dot") - or replace the header footer information with
linked bookmarked sections from another document (which will only really be
of benefit of you plan on moving often).

Hello and welcome,


In my company I have about 20 different contracts' templates. They all
have different content but the same Header and Footer with company's
logo and address.


What I would like to do is to have one file with Header and Footer
where I could change company's address, and it would update those 20
files automatic.


Do you have any ideas or solutions to this problem?


Please let me know.


Best regards,
BD.
