Autoupdate cross reference fields
I am using Word 2003 and am attempting to combine two separate documents
into one. Each of these documents is a form that accepts user input, and there is some duplication between the two. I am to the point where I type the data into the first instance of that particular field in the document and can click on the second location and press F9 and the field is then populated with the same value as the first instance. How do I eliminate the need to click within the field and press F9? Thank you |

First for some ideas on your overall project, see:

Thanks. I found exactly what I needed and it works perfectly.
One other question: how do I change the font of the text in the automatically updating field? It is copying the font / size of the text in the field the user populates but (if possible) I would like it to appear differently. "Greg" wrote in message oups.com...

Use a CharFormat switch on the duplication field.
