Forms

[Guest]

I am using office 2000 and can't figure out how to make the form so that if I
enter information in one field it can go in others. In my line of work we
write a persons name and address (6) times in one report. The reports are in
word and I put form fields in but I can't figure it out. To be honest the
article I read about writing programs is WAY above my head. I also tried to
do "REF" but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

A form field will have a bookmark name eg Text1

You can reproduce the content of that bookmark anywhere using REF fields
{REF Text1}

In order for the ref fields to update automatically it must be in the body
of the document and you must check the calculate on exit property of the
form field.

If you want the ref field in a page header/footer you need to run an update
macro on exit from the form field - see the code at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm - or apply a unique style to the
form field and use a styleref field to recall that style.
