Automatic Updates in Word Forms 1

[mosmas]

I have a customer with a word form. What she wants to do is to link some of the fields and have the fields update automatically like in Excel when you link cells. Does anyone know how to get this done?

Thanks for your input.

Insert a Text Field where you want the user to type the info. Ensure that you name the field with no spaces and with and easy to remember name.

Where you want the info to appear insert a Ref field.

Try Word help on these if you are stuck.

NOTE. The fields will not update straight away but should do when you print. If you have problems let me know and I can send you an Update macro

Thank Neil. I have tried to Ref and it worked great. But what I really need is the Link, because it updates automatically. But for some reason, I am getting Error! Not Valid Link.

Here is what I have. Have a field that I named titleand the document name is Name.doc on the c:\ drive. Here is my link code:

{LINK Word.Document.8 c:\\Name.doc title \a \r }

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.
