'Rubber stamp' template
How do I go about creating a 'rubber stamp' type template. I have a table,
followed by a page break, that needs to be copied & filled in many times. Cut & paste from a second document is counter intuitive. Can I do better? -Lew |

Hi Lew
i would use autotext for this. Select your table & page break choose insert / autotext / new give it a name click OK to use, type the name you gave it ... and press enter (or F3). Hope this helps Cheers JulieD "Lew" wrote in message ... How do I go about creating a 'rubber stamp' type template.

Create a template and place it in the template folder (see Tools, Options,
File Location for its exact location on your computer). To use it, open the Templates folder and double click on it. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Lew" wrote in message ... : How do I go about creating a 'rubber stamp' type template.

This works for a single instance of my 'stamp', but a document is a
collection of these forms that have been filled out. -Lew "TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message ...

Follow Julie D's advice and put an AutoText entry of your table in your
template. I like to store my AutoText in a template other than normal.dot. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, macros, etc. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
