Form Fields Repeating Information
We have a form we have created in Word. On each page we repeat some of the
information from the previous page. Our employees are complaining on having to repeatedly type this info over and over on each page. I have though of putting this info in the header but you cannot use form fields in the header and I don't want to unlock the form. I also am trying to find out if there is a way to use bullets in a form field? PLEASE HELP!!! |

Hi, Try this for your "repeats":

the bullets though.

If you don't already have the form fields formatted as bullets, your users
cannot format them as bullets because the form is protected. To enable the users to format the formfields as bullets in a protected document requires the use of VBA (macros). ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Tpeila" wrote in message ...

HI Suzanne. This worked great up until now. I was asked to rearrange this
document which has 11 pages. I was asked to rearrange the page order. When I did I get "Error! Reference source not found." So I went back through the whole document added the same references saved it and it worked. Now the next day I go to open it and am getting the same error message. Any ideas? Another question can you put a reference field at the beginning of the document but the text it is referencing is not until the third page? Not all of these are like this but a couple are.
