We would like to use Content Controls or Form Fields so that we would simply update a table at the start the document and the rest would update accordingly. Here is a simplified exampe of a current document where we would do search/replace for each [item]: Quote:

Using legacy formfields in a protected form, if you check the box to "calculate on exit" it will update anything depending on the contents of that formfield.
