Can I have a form that gets filled out by my supervisors.
Some of the fields on the forms are drop down form fields,
some are check box form fields and some are text boxes.

Several of the fields that they fill out on the first page
are used to fill out a second page and rather than having
them duplicate the entry, I was just going to have the
information link to the next page. How can I do that?

Thank you in advance,
Tracy
 
Each text formfield has a bookmark assigned to it (like Text1). In the
location where you want the information copied, place your cursor, click
"Insert", "Reference", "Cross Reference". Click the dropdown and select
"Bookmark". Click the bookmark you want to use and click "Insert". Last
thing you need to do is to double-click on your last text box to enter the
Formfield Options and click the "calculate on exit" option. This forces
Word to update these referenced locations with all desired bookmarks.
 
Thank you. This worked great on the drop down and text
box forms but I can't get it to do anything with the check
boxes. Is there anything different I should do with those?
Again, thank you for your assistance!
 
I haven't really tried it before but my guess is since a check box is merely
a YES/NO, it will require some VBA code to take the "Value" and apply it to
another bookmarked area. Are you willing to delve into VBA? If so, I'm
sure I (or someone else) can provide an example.
