replaceable fields
accidentally posted this in the access database originally...
I have some standard literature I use for several clients. In the past, rather than rewriting the text from scratch, I'll just use a find/replace for the most recent client and use the new client's name. Is there a better way to do this? For example, it might read something like: We recommend CLIENT utilizes blahblahblah software to meet CLIENT's specific business requirements. CLIENT's business manager blahblahblah... This can go on for pages and sometimes it's possible that you miss one or two with find/replace. There have been instances where we sent to Client A some literature that still had Client B's name on it... |

replaceable fields
Try a fill-in form:
http://www.officearticles.com/tutori...osoft_word.htm and then use this feature to "repeat" a field: http://www.officearticles.com/word/c...oft_word .htm ************ Hope it helps!
