Common information & Forms
What I want to do I have a main document with various fields throughout it
in places where a particular unique piece of information is required, such as a company name. How can I get several fields to hold the same information, so that when the information is added it appears throughout the document in all the correct places. I only want to type it once. I presume if the document is protected then only the fields can be altered. Thanks Andy |

Thank Greg
Did the job sort of.. two things. Using the REF function can different formatting, fonts etc be applied to different REFs? Seems to adopt the initial field Also it doesn't seem to work with items in the headers and footers. Can you shed any light on these two things? Regards Andy "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ...

Hi Andy
Andy Roberts wrote: two things. Using the REF function can different formatting, fonts etc be applied to different REFs? Seems to adopt the initial field A couple of thoughts on this: 1. If you are using styles consistently for your formatting, then the fields should not pick up anything but direct formating. 2. Make sure you bookmark the word(s) only without any possible adjacing paragraph mark. 3. If all else fails, you can overwrite any field formatting with CHARFORMAT; look it up in your offline help.
