Copy value of a text filed

[Ángel Rubio]

Hi.

In a Form, I have several text fields, so I would like to type text in one
field, and make a macro and assign a event in the properties of the text
field, and when the field lost the focus, in another text field the same
value appears.

I know how to assign the macro, but I don't know how to 'copy' in VB the
valules of the fileds.

Some help will be aprreciated.

You don't need a macro to repeat the value of a field elsewhere in the
document (if that's what you're trying to do).

Assuming that you are working with what Word calls an online form, you can
insert a cross-reference to the bookmark defined by the text form field in
question. Be sure to select "Calculate on exit" in the Text Form Field
Options dialog box (in that dialog box, you can also see the bookmark name
and change it if you want to). For more on repeating data using form fields,
see item 2 in the article at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm.

Note that the article also explains other ways to repeat data.
