Default Repeating an entry from a content control

Hi Stefan,

Note that bookmarking doesn't work with all types of content
controls. In particular, it doesn't seem to work with date picker
controls. STYLEREF will work, though.


bookmarking works also with date picker control. However, the field
will not update immediately. You have to press F9 or switch to Print
Preview.

The 4th alternative could be: Copy the picker content control. Then
paste special as link, and as unformatted text. A LINK field will be
created (instead of REF), that is updated automatically, when changing
the date.

Hi,

Can someone explain how I can repeat an
entry from a content control field throughout
the document automatically in Word 2010?


1. Apply a bookmark (e. g. LetterDate) to your content control. To
repeat the content use cross-references to that bookmark.
2. If your content control is placed within a separate paragraph, you
can apply a special style. In the document you can repeat content by
using STYLEREF fields.
3. Use a tool: "Word Content Control Toolkit" http://dbe.codeplex.com/
