Linking Form Fields.

[Guest]

I am trying to link form fields within Word documents. I can successfully
link all form fields using several methods WITHIN THE SAME DOCUMENT.
However, I can only successfully link drop-down fields from one Word document
to another, no matter whatmethod I use. Can anyone tell me how to
successfully link text and numeric form fields from one Word document to
another?
Thanks for any insight.

Hi,

You can do this with INCLUDETEXT fields. As you know, FORMFIELD fields set
bookmark their results. INCLUDETEXT fields can replicate bookmarked values
from a source document in a target document. The syntax is:
{INCLUDETEXT "Drive:\\Path\\Path||Path\\Filename.doc" "Bookmark"}
Note how the path separators are double back-slashes.

INCLUDETEXT fields support various switches - see Word's help file for more
details.

Cheers
