Creating Form Fields in Word

I need to create a form and need to have a field that once populated it is copied to other predefined fields on the form. How can I do this?

Thanks

RE: Creating Form Fields in Word

Hi Vanessa

Thanks for your question. Basically there are two ways of approaching this - one way using the bookmark that is assigned to a form field; the second way is to use a macro that will copy the information in the form field to another place which involves a bit of VBA code.

I have included a link to an article below which explains the two methods in quite a clear way:

I hope this solves your problem.
