changing words that are repeated on several pages

[Associates]

Hi,

I was wondering if i could get some help here. I have a report document that
has a specific word repeated on a several pages throughout the report.

When you change or edit the word, the change will be applied to those pages
that have the word in them throughout the report.

My question is i think this can be done using Macro. However, the report is
to be handed to someone whose company does not allow Macro implementation.
Therefore, i wonder if this is still feasible with the use of Macro.

I run on Office 03 on XP Pro.

Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Thanks Doug for your reply.

Edit>replace is an option but i want to use something else.

I have tried to use online Form from the Form toolbar in conjunction with
the use of REF. It works really well.

However, what does not work is when we like it the same thing happen in the
Header/Footer. I have the repeated word in the Footer.

I was wondering if there is some other controls i can use to update the
Footer.

Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Hi Doug,

I think I need to use StyleRef in order to be able to update the Footer (
got this info from http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm). However,
when i toggle it back using Alt+F9, i received an error message from the
Footer: Error! Style not defined.

The following is what i put in to the Footer. Note: I use control+F9 to get {}

{ StyleRef "myprojectname" }

"myprojectname" is what i have as a bookmark

Wonder how to get around this error. How do i define the style?

Thank you in advance

The myprojectname needs to be the name of a Style, not a bookmark.

I still think that Edit>Replace is the thing to use.

Thanks Doug for your reply.

Does it mean i have to define the myprojectname as a style? This would mean
that it won't be a variable.

Are there any other way apart from using StyleRef?

Sorry Doug, they do not want to use edit>replace method.

Thank you in advance
