Fields and References
Good evening everyone, I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help me out with what I'm trying to accomplish: I'd like to create fields in a Word 2007 document where a user can enter in information, and have those fields reference-able later in the document. So for example, lets say I had "[Insert Name Here]" at the top document - I'd want several "[Name]" fields later in the document to automatically fill with whatever is typed in to that. I thought this would be an easy thing to accomplish once I found the correct functions in the help file, but I can't seem to find the functions that I'm looking for. I also can't find any help articles online about this. I have a feeling that I'm just missing something fundamental. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know. Thanks! -- SeanDamnit |

Hi Sean,
Since you have Word 2007, you may also be interested in another of Greg Maxey's articles, http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Mapped_Content_Control.htm. There's a link to it at the bottom of section 7 of the Repeating Data article.
