global variables helps?

[Guest]

Hi All,

i have a variables call company address, and it is used in several word
templates. everytime i update the company address, i have to update every
word template, which is very annoying.
so i just wonder that is that way i can store this varialbe in central file
or module , then i only need update once.

Cheers

Nick

Use Global Autotext Template and use Autotext.

Certainly you can store it in an external file. If you're using Word VBA, a
very simple technique is to store it in INI format, then use
System.PrivateProfileString to access the information.

An example of INI file content:

[Global info]
CompanyAddress = "The information here"

An INI file is a plain text file (you can create it using Notepad) with the
file extension .ini
