Question Using Fill In Fields to Autopopulate Multiple Areas in the Document

Hi All!

I was wondering, is it possible to use one fill in field and after answering the prompt, will then populate multiple areas in the document? I've figured this would be a lot easier instead of making a user form.

For example:

The prompt will say: "Enter company name" and after clicking OK, the provided answer will appear on the Heading, first paragraph, second para etc.

How can I set it up where the formatting will not be affected as well? By the way, this is a template that I am preparing for my manager.

I have tried using the fill in field but if the company name appears 7 times in the document, then I get prompted 7 times as well to enter the answer. Is there any way to do it all at once?



Thank you so much in advance!

See http://gregmaxey.com/Repeating_Data.htm
For a single piece of information you could use instead an ASK field and REF fields to reproduce the data, but for multiple pieces of information, a userform is the better way and is simple enough - http://www.gmayor.com/Userform.htm
