Repeat text entered in a text box in all pages
Hi everyone,
I am a new user and I am looking for some help. I have a form and I need to create a text box that will be repeated on all pages. So if I enter something like 123 in the text box on the first page, all other pages will automatically have this information. I appreciate your help |

There are lots of ways of doing this. My recommendation is linked (mapped) Content Controls. See Greg Maxey's site for information on your many options Repeating Data (Populating Multiple Like Fields)

Hi Guessed,
Thank you. I tried to follow his instructions but am really having a hard time doing this. I have attached a sample form, if you can take a look it. |

To create a repeating data 'field' the quickest way possible, add a Content Control linked to a built-in property.
In your sample document, delete the formfields you added. Then go to Insert > Quick Parts > Document Property > Category. This will put a linked CC in your document. If you are showing your Developer Tab, you can change its title to 'Form Number'. Then copy and paste that same CC into the other locations. Try changing the text inside one of those CCs and when you move your cursor out of the CC, you will see the others instantly change. I picked Category for this example, it doesn't matter which one you choose. If you have a limited number of fields that need to behave this way, you can repurpose any of these built-in fields the same way.
