Default How to create text that can be automatically changed?
I need to repeat a file number and title many times throughout the word document. I was wondering how can I create a field that can be automatically updated whenever I change the content? For examle, I'd like to set the field to read as " Document xxx Title XXX" and the XXX portion can be updated whenever I type in the actual content? Thank you. |

I think it is unlikely but are these links any help?: -
List of field codes in Word Field codes: Keywords field I suspect a macro may be the answer but I am not a macro expert. |

You can use the document properties at Insert tab > Text group > Quick Part > Document Property. These are mapped content controls and if you insert (for example) two of the same type you can edit either of them and the other one will update.
