What are my options?

[Guest]

Hi guys,

I am looking for some help. I have a document that is used by a number of
people. This document remains largely the same except for a few areas. These
are all areas such as 'Name', 'Other persons Name' etc.

Is there a way I can have a box that users can fill these details into when
they open the document, that will then populate the word document where
required?

I have not tried anything like this before so any advice will be much
appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

For the "box that users can fill" you want a form with text form fields.
Read http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22 for a tutorial.

To repeat the user's entries at other places in the document, see
