Hi again, I have another problem that I hope you can help with.

Our company has letter headed paper that we print onto from word. We have
around 100 templates set up that we use (mainly with the same header) - that
I did not create. We are getting new paper in which has a logo in a slightly
different place so I will need to go through and change the new headers one
by one.

How do I make sure that I do not have to do this task again? For example: if
i were writing a webpage in php or making writing in c++ i would not create
the "top" of the page in each file and copy paste it in, I would create
header.php or .cpp and then "include" it inside the file. Is there a way i
can create jsut as header and footer .doc file and include that within
another .doc file or something?

Any comments are welcome

P.s we are running Word 2002 SP2

Store the data to be inserted as an AutoText entry (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm). Then use an
AUTOTEXT field to insert it in the header.

Whenever the data needs to be updated, just modify the AutoText entry.
When fields are updated, you'll get the correct contents in the
document(s) containing the field.
