Typing in multiple locations

[Troy Morse]

I have a document that I want to type the same thing in multiple locations,
IE vendor name, date, job number. Can i set it up so that on the Title page,
when I type this information in it is automaticaly typed in all other
necessary locations on the Document?

You can repeat information using STYLEREF fields (assuming that you format
the first occurrence of vendor name, date, job number, etc. with a unique
style).

Alternatively, if you are creating a form, see

Another option is to bookmark the original occurrences, and then use REF
fields to repeat the items in other locations. For example, you might
bookmark the vendor name as VendorName (names must begin with letters, can
contain numbers, and can't contain spaces, but are otherwise arbitrary), and
then use the field {REF VendorName} (press Ctrl+F9, type ref VendorName, and
press Enter) each place you want vendor name to appear. If vendor name
changes in the original location, you'd select the REF field and press F9 to
update it to the changed name.

Greg's article covers that.

Indeed, it's item 5 in the list.

I presumed that "creating a form" was the subject of the link, and did not
click on it, reasoning it would not cover bookmarks in a non-forms context.
