Create Template for Quick Data Entry
I want to create a template to make things easier for me. I'm able to get the
template to work partially, but am struggling with one or two last things. The first thing is that I have text that occurs several times throughout the document, and I want to be able to enter this text once (either by prompt or by double clicking a field and entering the text) and for it to update throughout the document. I don't know how to go about doing this and don't know what to search for. The second is more of the capabilities of Word. Is it possible to have a general template, then have a second template based on the first template? i.e. I could have a general template that contains the heading and footer of my standard documents and a few additional things, but then have a second template for a standard letter, that uses the general template, so any changes to the general template will filter down to the letter template. (Sorry that it was a long description.) I mainly use Word 2003, but am considering getting Office '07. Any help with these matters would be appreciated. Regards, Richard |
