Forms Inquiry

[jana]

I am trying to create a protected form in Word that others
can use. A few of the fields can draw information from
previously entered in another area of the document. I was
wondering if there was a way to have a this information
also show in the others areas where it is needed without
have to retyp the information. This would create less end-
user error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use a cross reference to the text of the bookmark assigned to the formfield
into which the user will enter the data. In the properties dialog for that
formfield, check the Calculate on exit box so that the cross reference will
be updated to display the text that the user has entered.
