If you have a document that has the name of a company
referenced many times is there a way to type it once and
all of the other entries are changed as well? I know I
can find and replace but I do not want to do that.
 
Hi Tony,

The answer is already in your subject line.

Bookmark the first occurrence. At each of the other locations, use
Insert > Field and select REF and add the bookmark name, or use Insert
Cross-reference and select Bookmark and then the name.
Click to expand...

If you change the first occurrence, either be very careful not to
overwrite the bookmark (you can see it as a pair of fat square
brackets if you check the Bookmarks box in Tools > Options > View), or
reinsert the bookmark with the same name. To make the references
change to match, you may need to select all (Ctrl+A) and update fields
(F9).
