As indicated in my previous reply, those are content control titles that you can add via Developer|Controls>Properties, after selecting the appropriate content control.

I opened the property list. Each has a "(Name)" and "ThisDocument" attribute. The list is rather long, and I'm unsure if I need to be using to them.

I would assume the next step would be to create a macro for saving a pdf using the filename convention discussed in my original post. If we know I'm using the built-in "Company" control type for the "Lorem Ipsum" text in the filename, is there a way to grab that for the macro?

What you're looking at has nothing to do with

There are screenshots in the link I gave you, under 7. Content Controls - https://gregmaxey.com/word_tip_pages...ting_data.html

That's not the issue. The issue is the content replication. In any event, it's unwise to repurpose a built-in content control the way you propose.

Sorry if I'm not understanding - I am completely new to content controls - but what exactly is it that you need me to do at this point? I have my "Lorem ipsum" text replicating throughout the document as needed now. That solves the second part of my two-part issue in the original post, I think.

Now I just need to know how to write a pdf-save macro that saves the filename according to some boilerplate text at the front, my "Lorem ipsum" text currently being used with a content control, and the computer's internal date.

Am I missing something? Am I skipping a step? Apologies for all the questions.
