broken links within ms word document

[Howeerd]

I am having trouble with documents that keep breaking their links. In my
documents, I have to type certain items (such as: client name, SS #, etc.) in
several places. Instead of repeatedly typing the name, I copy the form
field, and then do a "paste special" copy, selecting "paste link" on the
pop-up window, and clicking on "as html format". Then I protect my document,
hit save, and I'm off and running. However, when I open the same document on
a different occasion, the links are broken. This is getting to be an
extremely frustrating situation!

Is there anyone else who is having a similar problem, who has a solution? I
would be eternally grateful (or at least grateful for a couple of months) for
any help.

Thanks!
