Template, filling in same info multiple times

[Guest]

I have a six page template with a lot of forms in it. All of the field boxes are like six different items that change, is there any way I could just fill in six boxes and have the Word automatically fill in the rest with the same data

Thanks

Hi Rishi,

If this is a protected document with formfields, each of those fields will
have a bookmark name associated with it., By default, these are named
Text1, Text2, Text3, etc. It's a good idea to change them to something that
represents the data that will be inserted into the formfield, such as Lname,
Fname, etc. This can be changed via the properties dialog for each of the
formfields - Before protecting the document, right click on the formfield
and select Properties. While there, check the Calculate on Exit box as
well.

In the other parts of the document where you want the information to appear,
insert a cross reference to the text of the bookmark. Then, after you
protect the document and enter information into the formfield, when you exit
from the formfield, the "calculation" that takes place will cause the cross
reference field to be updated to show the information that was entered into
the formfield.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
