I would like to create reusable fields that I can type in, then reuse those fields throughout the document without having to retype them.
As an example, I have a cover sheet that contains "Title", "Document ID", "Version Number", and "Published Date". I used the MACROBUTTON trick to create a field that someone can just click on and type, but I don't see how I can re-use what is typed in other parts of the document (such as putting the Document title in the header).
I've found something called "fill-in" fields, which don't seem to be what i'm looking for, and "ASK" fields, but that creates a dialog that you have to enter the information into.
I'm trying to create a generic template for my documentation needs.
Can anyone suggest a method to do what I am looking for?
