FORM FIELDS

I have created a document in Microsoft word with form fields to standardise
documents. How do i copy the information selected from a drop-down menu
field to another part of a document, so that users do not have to enter the
information again.

Use a ref field to call the bookmark name of the form field and flag the
formfield property 'calculate on exit'.

This will not work in a document header unless you force an update by
running a macro on exit (http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm ) from
that form field, so unless you want to include macros with the document
(probably not a good idea) you would need a styleref field instead as that
will update itself.

19. How can I enter something once in a document and have it repeat
elsewhere?
