Historically, the kind of functionality you're describing was typically used to personalize form documents. You'd create a template with tags for the variable data, and perform a 'mail merge' against a 2nd file that had the tags and associated actual data for each copy of the form. That doesn't seem like what you're describing. But if it might work, here's a starting place:

I don't have any more familiarity with the capabilities beyond the preceding sentence, but you could find more here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms268890(v=vs.100).aspx HTH. Frank Ress Gas Technology Institute From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of James Rankin Sent: Monday, March 27, 2017 7:19 AM To: ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com Subject: [NTSysADM] Question about Word My Microsoft Office skills are a bit limited and I can't seem to frame the Google query right today... I am writing a template document. At the start of this I want to put a section for "Customer Name", the idea being that when a user uses the template they can simply put the correct customer name in here, and then it is updated in every part of the document where the customer name needs to appear. What function is it I want to use here? I just can't seem to frame the right query to get Google to tell me the answer, and Alexa is simply telling me she doesn't understand...
