forms in word

I am trying to create a letter/form. In the document I want to fill in
questions i.e. Customer Name and Address. When I type this information, I
want it to populate in the information in the "letter" part of the form. Can
I do this without using VBA code?

Also, can I create a form that will populate other forms with the same
information?

For repetition within the same form, see

For populating other forms, you _might_ be able to use an IncludeText field
pointing to a bookmark that covers the input form field, but that would be an
extremely difficult setup to maintain. An alternative would be to have macros in
the first form save the information somewhere (to another document or even a
text or XML file) that macros in the other forms could read. No matter how you
do it, though, it isn't going to be simple.
