Default 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!

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.
