Fields

[Hawk]

I would like to create a field for the user to type some
text. Then I would like that text to be auto populated in
several other places in the document.

Can I do this without macros? I have been palying with
Fields, but cannot seem to figure out a solution. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Make a Bookmark that includes the field in which people will enter the data. Then, you can use the REF Field to reference that bookmark. Note: If you are having them type in Form Field inserted from the Forms toolbar, be sure to enable Calculate on exit. If you are not using Form fields for them to fill in the data, if the data changes from the initial stuff entered, you will have to update the REF fields
