It is easy enough to get the content of a form field placed in another form
field or reproduced in a REF field.
Provided the REF field is not in the document header or in a text box, you
only need to check the calculate on exit check box in the form field
properties for it to update the associated REF field.
If you want the fields to be still editable in the letter, then you need to
run a macro on exit from the last form field on the envelope to update the
associated fields on the letter. You would need code something like :
Sub OnExitText3()
'fills text field based on content of _
form field "Text3"
Dim oFld As FormFields
Dim sName As String
Dim sAddr1 As String
Dim sAddr2 As String
Set oFld = ActiveDocument.FormFields
sName = oFld("Text1").Result
sAddr1 = oFld("Text2").Result
sAddr2 = oFld("Text3").Result
oFld("Text4").Result = sName
oFld("Text5").Result = sAddr1
oFld("Text6").Result = sAddr2
End Sub
which will take the contents of form fields bookmarked text1 to text3 and
place the content in form fields bookmarked text4 to text6. Change the names
and add fields to save the macro in your document template. Create new
letter from the template.
