In a protected form, if the field is marked to "calculate on exit" it will
automatically update a REF field that depends on it (as well as calculation
fields).

If you set the template up correctly, you can have the number appear in
another cell, but only after updating the field. Or, if it's in a
protected form, you could have a macro automatically update the field for
you after finishing the entry. But, if you want the number to appear
elsewhere AS you're typing it, that's not a capability that's built into
Word. It likely could be done using VBA, but it sounds like a lot of work
for something that's not functionally essential.

I'm not aware of ANY _word processors_ that do that... and I believe I've
used them all. Happy hunting!

Thanks but I was trying to have the number repeat itself in another cell
as
I typed it once.
