I have a document that I want to use as a template for test procedures. Each document has variable number of tests. Each test page looks something like this:



The bookmark "TestName" points to <Test Name>. Since the number of tests varies by project, I want to be able to copy/paste this page for every additional test. When I do that, the { SEQ } fields increment just fine. However the { REF } fields all reference the original <Test Name>.

Is there a way to copy the bookmarks with an incremental name, or some other way to make the { REF } fields point to the local <Test Name> without manually editing a bunch of bookmarks?

First, consider using AutoText instead of an external file.

Bookmarks can only refer to one place in a document. Consider using the StyleRef Field instead. That would require that your TestName be set in the Style referenced by the StyleRef field. When a new test is marked with that Style, the next StyleRef field will change, but not previous ones (ones before the page on which the Style appears. The Style can be a character style rather than a paragraph style.

It seems like that will be a good solution for my situation.

Thanks!
