Automated copying of data throughout a document

I have read the instructions at
http://www.officearticles.com/word/c...oft_word .htm

It does not seem to work when the field that I am wanting to bookmark is a
calculated field. When I put a calculation into the field the bookmark is
gone from the list. Then I tried setting the bookmark before entering the
calculation; that worked until I put in the calc. At that point I got a
undefined bookmark warning on my destination field. Is there a way to do
this? Thanks for any help.

If I want to fill in data on one part of a form and have it automatically
propogate into other fields in the report, what do I do?

The calculation field is going to have a bookmark name. Double click
the field before protecting and you can see what it is then. If you
want to repeat the result of this field then use a REF field to the
bookmark. Say the field is bookmarked Text5, then:

{ Text5 } is using Ctrl+F9 to enter the { } is all you need.

this doesn't work. When I double click on the calculated field nothing
happens. Perhaps I am doing the calc incorrectly. What I did was create the
field and then use the formula option under the table menu. After I put in
the formula the bookmark name disappears. Is there another way?

Connie,

Are you using a protected form? Where are the variables coming from in
your calculation?

Are you using tables cells? Like A1=2 B1=2 C1= {Sum(Left) } ?
Then just use { =(C1) } where you want the calculation value repeated
in the table.

Greg, the place I want to repeat it is not in the table. Will your techniqe
still work?

No. But if you select the result to the calculation and then assign it
a bookmark name (InsertBookmark). Say you assign it the name C1.
Then you can just use a REF field { C1 } outside the table.
