Forms and Documents

[DB]

I'm stumped! I'm trying to design a document template
that allows the user to put information into a pop-up form
ONCE, so that it can be placed at several locations
throughout the document.

You want what's called a userform. See

Hi
Well, what part are you stumped about? Putting the information in several places or only showing the form ONCE

If it is only showing the form once, then you can test for the existence of a DocVariable (bFormShown, for example). If the DocVariable does not exist, then you can show the form and then _create_ the DocVariable. The next time you open this saved document, it tests for the DocVariable, finds it, and, therefore, doesn't show the form

O

You could only allow the form to be displayed during AutoNew
