Auto Populate

[Andy]

I am working with a Word template and have to enter the same information in
multiple parts of the word document. Is there any way I can format the
document so that I just enter something once (like an ID#) and set the
document to automatically populate this information wherever else I designate
it to poplutate?

Yes. First, define the location where you will originally enter the info
as a bookmark. Then, in the other locations, insert a cross-reference to
that bookmark.

That worked. You are awesome! That just saved me about an hour a day in
labor!

Either I am looking for something more advanced or I am not completely
understanding this process.

I would like to be able to set up a template that can be used over and over
but changing a piece of text throughout the document by typing it only once.
So if I input a company name once it is populated in 10 other places
throughout the document automatically without any other steps necessary. Is
this possible?

Thanks,
Ron
