Hi Charles,

Thanks for the reply.

I've just been looking at the advice you gave and i now know a lot more about text fields and boilerplates than i knew (which wasn't hard considering i knew nothing to start with )

I think i get the concept but don't think this will help me with what I need? I've created a masterTemplate with all the alterable information added as autoText.

I can then create new documents from this template and all the autoText fields are present so, i could use them and save the document under a new header.

Problem is that when i alter the autoText in the Master template, the original text remains in all the documents that are created from it.

I would need them to auto update to the new information. Am i doing this wrong or is it even possible?

Any advice would be appreciated.
