Dear Experts
I would like to get rid of entering several instances of - Name and Address and Reference" of a client in every "Software Service Agreement" that i make for diff clients.The word document (Offce 10) has several instances of "Name" and "Address" and :Reference". So where ever these fields are found in the document they should be auto replaced by the new values that are entered right in the first page of the document.
Please help. Thanks

One way to do this is through custom document properties. To create/add them, select File > Info, then click Properties > Advanced Properties:
Type a name for the property, enter a value and then click Add:
When you're done, go back to the document.
Click where you want to insert one of these properties, for example the name.
Press Ctrl+F9 to insert field brackets { }
Type the word DOCPROPERTY followed by a space, then the name of the custom property that you want to insert:
Press F9 to hide the field code and to update the result.
Repeat for the other locations and properties.

Another option is to use the STYLEREF field.
Create styles called Name, Address, Reference etc.
Apply these styles to the place on page 1 where the data is entered
Insert a STYLEREF field wherever you want a copy of the information

Another Option is to use the built-in Document Property Content Controls or other Mapped Content Controls.

You do not need to update fields with these. A change made in any location is registered in all locations when editing the content control is completed by leaving the control. The other methods with a Ref or StyleRef field all require that you update the dependent fields.
