I took up Brian's suggestion of putting sections inside frames and linking the sections as the means of copying information from one frame to another. My first impressions are that this seems to do what I want. I started working on this last night, and although it's tedious to set up,I think it will save the time of laboriously copying information by hand into each form, with the attendant risk of making errors along the way. When finished, I will have a template which will consists of a couple of pages for data entry and then a page for each of the forms plus a page which can be customised for the information which the marriage celebrant needs such as location, special requests, contact phone numbers etc. After I've completed it and tested it, I will publish it for other Australian marriage celebrants to use. Thanks to Brian, Harold, Barbara and others who offered suggestions to point me in the right direction. -- God bless you, Keith Bates www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
