Word Question: How to do this?

[Prew]

I have a report template that is several pages long. Each page has the same student's name, date of birthdate, and current date on. How do set the report up so that I only have to enter the information once? I want to enter it on the first page and then have it automatically inserted into the other pages.

I can't use a Header to do this because the information is not in the same spot on each page.

I know that making it a form will allow this (and use insert object), but the spell checker does not work in forms and I need the spell checker.

Years ago, when I used a Mac- there was a Publish/Subscribe that did thiis. Is there something similar with Word?

VB could probably do this. Are you familiar enough with VB to try?

[Prew]

Not really, seems odd that Word doesn't have an easy (obvious) way to do this. If it lets you do this in Word Forms why not in non forms?

Also, seems odd that Mac OS has been able to do this for years but PC can't.

Have a look at the FIELD fuctionality - that might do what you need.

Good luck,

David.

Doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this- so I'm just going to put the information in an Excel Spreadsheet and and Word report insert it from there.
