How can I tag the same replaceable words in a long document?
I am running Word 2002. But this may apply to other versions too. I often
prepare bid specifications to construction projects. The format is very strict (Construction Specifications Institute) and cannot include a table of contents. However, there are always about 8 different topics that could vary from project-to-project. I also have a worksheet to ask my customers the answer to these questions: The bidder shall be in business for ____ years. The bidder shall maintain an office within ____ miles of the construction site. The bidder shall have ____ factory-certified technicians on-site at any time. The total main document is about 2 dozen pages long. Is there some easy way to tag these variable issues so anyone editing the document can jump to each spot? |

I'm not sure how variable your responses are, but if these are just numbers
and names you might like to look at custom properties. You can set the value of these and have DOCPROPERTY fields show that value automatically in the document content. Or, if you just need to navigate to the sections where you need to type free content, you could use the document map (but see caveats at http://shaunakelly.com/word/documentmap/index.html) or insert bookmarks and use "Go to" to pick them up. Yet another options would be to set the whole document up as a protected "form" leaving the variable text as fields or unprotected sections. That would give you the tabbing, though there are other complications with the idea.

You can also use MacroButton fields, which will permit you to skip through
the document with F11. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm -- Suzanne S.
