What I want to do is create a file with content controls to fill in repeat text and when I'm done, convert all content controls to static text and save it as another file.
The reason why I need this is that I use master files, change the names and info and send them to other people. They're not very tech savvy so the target file has to be just plain word without anything fancy.

I know this is possible by saving as .doc, but that also changes the formatting to pre-2007 which can cause other problems and I don't want to just save it as a PDF because I need the file to still be editable.

Thanks in advance.
