How do I duplicate data to another location within word

[Aidan]

Hi ,im trying to link data I enter into another location
within word so when I type in data into a box or table it
duplicates it in boxes or tables within the document.
Thanks AIDAN

Method 1: Use a bookmark to identify the first location, then use a REF
field at the second.

Method 2: Use DocProperties.

Hi First of all thanks for your help, I've tried the
methods you advised but the field only seems to duplicate
the bookmark once. What I need is as i type data it should
be copied to other locations at the same time. This is for
a quotation template which as I type the number of the
quote this is repeated at 3 other locations throughout the
doc. Hope Im making it clear
Thanks
Aidan

Not really. You can have any number of REF fields to copy data from an
initial location. You need to update fields to refresh the document after
you've input the initial data (select all, then press F9).

For formal info like a quote number, I suggest you look at putting the info
into a field such as one of the fields on the document properties dialog
(File > Properties) then using DocProperty fields.

Hi thats great, i've got that working now.
Is it also possible to update a field inside an embedded
Excel spreadsheet within the word document.
Again thanks for your help

I don't know how you can have a field inside an worksheet. Excel doesn't use
fields, as far as I know. But anyway, anything WITHIN the spreadsheet is
handled by Excel, not by Word.
