create a form in Word for my lease document
Hello:
I am a landlord, and have a few properties. I use the same lease for each property. I would like to make my lease such that I can go to a form, enter the changing information (lessee name, property address, rental amount, etc), and then have Word enter the information from the form onto the Lease document in Word. In other words, my lease is 13 pages long, but is exactly the same for each property. I am tired of going through each page and manually typing the information in each space. Some of the information is repeated a few times in the lease, so I currently have to enter it multiple times. Is there a way to do this, and can someone point me to an example? Thanks -- JMA |

create a form in Word for my lease document
Doug:
THanks for the reply. I intend to try and accomplish what is stated in those links, but I still have a question. Can I do this with my EXISTING lease? In other words, I would like to make my lease the form, and the "fill in the blanks" areas on my lease be automated so I can fill out a form which will then distribute the correct information to the correct areas of the lease. I would then like to save that copy of the lease, and print it out. Something like "Lease for 123 Main Street - John Doe". I would like to do this save without altering the original template. Then, when the next tenant comes along, I would like to open the Lease Template, and fill in the data for Tom Smith at 456 Main Street. Will the links you provided me allow me to do this? THanks. -- JMA "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: See "Please Fill Out This Form" Part 1: Create professional looking forms in Word http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22 Part 2: Adding Automation to your Word forms. http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=46 Part 3: Learn more VBA (macros) to automate your forms. http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=119 Part 4: Use custom dialog boxes in your Word forms http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=127 Part 5: Connect your AutoForm to a database to save input time and keep better records! http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=136 -- Hope this helps.

I suggest that a UserForm would do what you want. See

Yes. Make your form a template, create new documents based on the template.
If a protected form is too much for you, you may want to look at: How can I enter something once in a document and have it repeat elsewhere? http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
