Formula help?

[Michael_Corral]

I want to have the document set up so that when I type a name or word in
place in side the document/letter, that name will be instantaneously entered
or equaled somewhere else in the document in place that I specify. Sort like
in Excel, where I can have one cell equal another cell. Whatever I type in
one cell, after I press the enter key or click outside the cell, the cell
that is equal to it, automatically updates with the information.

I hope I described well enough what I am looking for, if not please ask for
specifics.

Thank you in advance,

Mike

You can do this with a formfield and then use cross references to the text
of the bookmark name assigned to the formfield. If you set the Calculate on
Exit property of the formfield, the cross references will be updated with
the information entered into the formfield when you exit from it.
