I have a document that I'm creating to be a base form for a small group of employees to use.



There are several places in the document where the employees name needs to show up. Currently I have a 2010 (not legacy) dropdown list where I have each employee name. I have this same dropdown list in several locations. Is there a way to populate just one of them and have all the other locations auto-fill?

*Note: I don't want this form to be locked down (ie, restricted mode) because the users often need to radically change this form in some areas and I haven't found a good way to easily lock it and still give us the functionality we need.

Next, I have a footer where each employee will have their name, company address and an image of their signature in JPG form. As of now each employee has to put in their image one time and save the form to be their master form. Is there a way I can have one form and make it so the user can select their name and their signature will then populate in the footer automatically?

I'm sure there are ways to do these things with complex macros or programming but I don't have the time or knowledge now to do this. I'm just curious if there are some more simple, built-in mechanisms Word has in 2010 that can help out.

Thanks ahead of time for anyone that can answer.
