Hi,

I know how you use the FILLIN option to create pop up
boxes on your letters - BUT I need to know how you group
these together. IE, if you want one pop-up box to appear
and ask you a question that will populate more than one
area on your letter. An example of this is a letter
containing several references to a client's name and I
only want one pop-up box to appear to ask me the clients
name once and then populate the name throughout the letter.

Thanks
Jim

Use {REF} fields where you want the repeated text.

E.g: On page one, you have some text;
Assign a bookmark to that text (Insert > Bookmarks, let's call it "Text1");
Everywhere else you want the text bookmarked by Text1 to appear do:
CTRL-F9;
A pair of { } will appear;
Type REF Text1 between the curly braces;
Create all the REF fields you want.

When you are done do ALT-F9 twice to switch from field code view to regular
view.

Salut!
