Thank you for sending this through. Have spent the last couple of hours reading and experimenting with controls. My only question relates to repetition within the document. If I have information in my header that is repeated (eg a proposal number), should I still use content controls and iterate through each of them to update, or is this scenario a better use of fields?

TIA - and enjoying learning something completely new about Word.

The add-in I suggested makes it easy to map controls. Check the map check box and insert the control. Copy and paste the control wherever you want a duplicate. Whatever you enter in one of them will be duplicated in the others,
