Text Form Field duplicate without bookmark

[quentin_mespoulede]

Hi,
I have to use text form field with a word's (version 2000) document.
In the same document, I put two times the same text form field linked to the
same bookmark.
My problem is, after filled my first form field with "default text", "type",
"bookmark", etc... and did the same thing for the second, the bookmark in my
first form field disapears.

It seems to be we can 't duplicate text form field with the same bookmark !?
SO is it possible to have two times the same bookmark in the same word
document ?
Can you help me, please ?

What you can't do is use the same bookmark name for two or more fields.
That's why the first one's bookmark name disappeared -- it was "stolen" by
the second one, and then by the third one.

The solution is to use cross-references for the second and third
repetitions, not form fields. Only the first one should be a form field, and
it should have the bookmark name. The cross-references just "refer" to that
bookmark name so they can repeat the information.
