It seems hard to believe that I cannot find a succinct answer to this, given I think it must be a fundamental capability of MS Word. Here is the deal:
- Trying to create a standard template (dotx) file in MS Word 2013
- This is a boilerplate document, within which I want to be able to easily set up some sort of property field to replace various replaceable items within the document each time I create it. For example, have a field in a contract document called "PARTY1" and another called "PARTY2". This field may occur many times in the document.
- When I create a document using this template, then I want to be able to replace the value of this field, one time, and see it now occur throughout the document, wherever I have used these fields.
I have tried using Insert > Quick Parts > Field.... but I am unable to (seeming) create a new fieldname (trying to create in Document Information) and have it stick.
Could someone give me the click by click steps? I have posted this elsewhere, and folks say "Use Insert > Quickparts" but no more information than that.
Thx in advance for any help or pointers....
