Wonderful and soothing video to help me, thanks for that. Do you know of any way you can lock in these fields so that another author could change whats in the text without deleting the field setup?

I tried a few other videos, and couldn't figure it out. I should have came here first:) Thanks

Great video! Do you know if is possible to bookmark field of a form?

Your videos are so helpful! Quick question, are you able to do this with a drop down. Like bookmark a dropdown and then have it auto populate text later in the document based on your selection?

Hello! Yes there is a way to insert Date & Time on a Word document. Place your cursor where you want to insert the time and go to the Insert tab, under the text area, click the "Date & Time" icon. From there, you can select the format to include a date with the time, or just the time. You can also check the box to auto update if you want it to be updated every time you open the document. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

thx, nice hack

great video. What are the advantages of this methodology compared to "Find and Replace All"?

@SharonSmith

Ай бұрын

Hello! Great question. Using bookmarks and REF fields in Word to auto-repeat text can offer advantages over the "Find and Replace All" method if you have a large complex document with lots of sections. Here are a few examples: Dynamic Updates: Bookmarks and REF Fields: Any change made to the bookmarked text is automatically updated across all REF fields referencing that bookmark. This ensures consistency without needing to perform a manual find and replace each time. vs. Find and Replace All: Requires manual execution every time a change is made to the original text. This can be time-consuming and error-prone if not done consistently. Consistency: Bookmarks and REF Fields: Reduces the risk of inconsistencies since all instances of the repeated text are tied to a single source. vs. Find and Replace All: Higher risk of inconsistencies, especially if some instances of the text are not replaced correctly or are missed during the replace process. Efficiency: Bookmarks and REF Fields: Efficient for documents with frequent updates to repeated text. Once set up, no further manual intervention is needed for updates. vs. Find and Replace All: Each update requires a new find and replace operation, which can be tedious and time-consuming for large documents. Accuracy: Bookmarks and REF Fields: Reduces human error as the updates are automatic and system-driven. vs. Find and Replace All: Prone to human error, such as missing some instances or replacing unintended text. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

Can I cross reference a drop down menus or date calender?

Why this is not available in Outlook? Greetings from Spain ☺️

Thank you for this. I'm having an issue where erasing the content of a bookmark in order to change it causes the whole bookmark to be deleted. So if, like in your example, I try to change "Shawn" to "Burton," the whole bookmark goes away when I erase Shawn, and I have to remake the bookmark. Do you know what might be causing this?

When I try to save it as PDF, it all disappears. Do you know how I can do that or do you have a video for that?

That's an interesting one 😎😎 Now I have a twist...😉😉 I created two names (name 1, name 2) in the document like your suggested (i.e. creating bookmarks) Its formatted with custom Style (All CAPS, Bold, 12pt Times New roman) ' I have created a table in the Header of the document. In column 1 I want names to appears as *name1 vs name 2* . so I created cross references as suggested by you. The contents of header needs to be displayed as 10pts Times new roman, italics, Regular. As shown by you if we update field (or F9) after selecting the table in the header, it is only the default style formatting which is displayed, not the italics etc. Is there a work around so that the ref fields follow rules of the table formatting?

Have you tried using 2 x different styles using the styles pane? I've tested it and 2 x different styles works. Even when updating the name, it changes the cross reference to the new name, but keeps the styles different. Hope that helps!

He Sharon Quick question. I am a recruiter. I receive CVs in all different styles and fonts and layouts. Is there a way that I can automatically rewrite CVs so they are in a standard format?

Can there be a different formatting for same bookmark at different parts of the 📄 document

@SharonSmith

2 ай бұрын

Hello! Yes, each bookmark acts as a reference point, allowing you to apply unique formatting to the text or objects associated with it. This enables you to have different formatting for the same bookmark at different parts of the document. You do have to manually apply the desired formatting. I hope this helps!

Does it not work on Mac?

I have watched your video and it seems really straightforward however when I try to do the same I can not get access to add a bookmark. Does anyone know a solution?
