Update bookmarks and variables in document

Hi webharvest,
The best approach might be to configure the document as a Word form with a combination of protected and unprotected Sections, delineated by continuous or next-page Section breaks.

In the protected Section(s), you would have formfields into which the users could input data (eg the Proposal Name) only. Anything else in a protected Section would be inaccessible. If the same data that is to be input into a formfield appears in multiple places, you could set the formfield properties to 'calculate on exit' and have cross-references at the other locations, all pointing to the formfields' internal bookmark names.

In the unprotected Section(s), you'd have any content that the users are allowed to edit.

See attached document.
