I have a two page form. Page 1 contains form fields that users enter in
data. Page 2 containts fields that are "referencing" the results of several
of the fields on page 1.

After completing the document, one of our users would like to send page 2
ONLY to one of his clients for review, but if he deletes out page 1, the
results will be deleted from page 2 making the document useless.

QUESTION - is there a way to SAVE the document or something so that the
results are permanent in the fields that are referenced? I know in EXCEL you
can copy and paste the values so that the formulas are gone - is there
something similar like this in Word???

On page 2, select the fields (or the whole page) and press Ctrl+Shift+F9, which
is the shortcut for the Unlink Field command. That changes the current contents
of the fields to plain text. Then page 1 can be deleted without altering the
fields (because they aren't fields any longer). Obviously, do this in a copy of
the original document.
