Fields & Auto-text
Firstly, I am sorry if this is in the wrong section or if Word is the correct program for this. I'm looking for an easier way to auto-fill fields that I can just copy & paste. Would appreciate if someone could direct me to some sort of guide or tutorial.
Basically what I'm working around is sending out a SMS via an online application but its extremely repetitive and time consuming having to retype everything each time. I'm picturing some sort of document with maybe a drop down box or something I can type in which allows me to enter details. Something along the lines of... Location: [drop down] Date: [field] Time: [field] Once I enter data into those fields it will auto-fill into the following sentence, "Vacancy at [LOCATION] on [DATE] at [TIME]. If available please reply." Then I can simply copy & paste the above into my SMS application as if it were just normal text. Appreciate your time, thank you in advance.

AutoText is something quite different.
There are a number of ways to do what you want. See Repeating Data (Populating Multiple Like Fields). |
