What Should I research to do this?

[webcan]

HI! I have lease application in word ( all text ) that are static except for the top addresses that changes when I get a new building address to enter in.



I want these doc's to be in such a way that if I need to change something in the page ( Other than the address at the top ) that all the other "lease application's docs" that I have will change as well. I also need to be able to change the top part ( The address ) once only so this part can be normal or a space can be reserved to be normal space.

What kind of function am I looking for to accomplish this? Its a bit like a footer or header but for the rest of the 2 pages.

For your variable information (name and address) you could use content controls.

For the information you want in multiple documents that you want to be able to change in one place, consider using AutoText (a building block) stored in a Global Template. In your document templates, use an AutoText field to bring this into your document. When you want to change all of the documents, change the AutoText entry in the Global template.

Automated Boilerplate Using Microsoft Word

Note, above I referred to "document templates" not "docs" or "documents." These forms should be saved as "Templates" and when used a new document should be created based on the template. That way there is no chance of corrupting your basic forms.

If you want more protection for the body, you could use legacy online forms (using the legacy form tools on the Developer Tab) and protecting the document for filling in forms. Do NOT mix content controls and legacy form fields in the same document, though.

HI! Thank for the response. I am doing something wrong but what? I made the global template, I see it if I check in the add-ins but when I try to add in the autotext I do not see my template?
