I need to have text appear automatically in different places in word as I
type. The template I have created is used to respond to different people. In
other words, if their name is in the greeting, it will appear in the body of
the letter also. I would prefer not to use field codes.

You can't do this without field codes or macros, and field codes are far
more predictable.

From the FAQ

19. How can I enter something once in a document and have it repeat
elsewhere?
