Hi, I'm creating a word document so that we can fill it in when a customer calls with some basic information, from that it will create the contract and work order on following pages.




I've started by creating a book mark then using the cross reference to duplicate it.
The problem is that I have to select all and update manually.


Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying?


Thanks

I am unsure if that is what you need.

Print or Print Preview should update all fields. So if you simply preview your document, that should update those cross references.

Or, if you don't want to stop editing to do that, CONTROL + A to select all text in the d, and the F9 key to update.

A quick suggestion: if multiple people will be working from that template, make sure they select "Show Bookmarks" in the Advanced Options settings. It's what allows me to easily see where the bookmark is because it shows the little brackets around it. I've had issues with coworkers not seeing the brackets and backspacing or deleting them, thus breaking the bookmark. You'll see the gray field area of the cross references, only if they are selected.
