Oh so glad it helped! 👍🏻👌🤓

That’s lovely feedback ! Fanx 😎

haha, I don't know but I can't use a MAC ! 🙂

Hi, could you help me with a bit more detail so I understand what you're trying to achieve. Are you adding the same field code on each line?

@@SMEOfficeSupport can't, only by video, do you have contact? I'm screwed I can't finish resume,should fill the form today. I got ready document, I fill first line it repeats same content in the rest, how do I remove it?

@@JapanShopBrazil you should be able to right click and remove content control. Unless the document is password protected .... then you're screwed! 😕

@@SMEOfficeSupport no I almost finished editing, Ms word on Android, but can't fill the lines at the right cuz it autofill same thing in all lines, I want to remove that function

Hi, don't think it can be done using the publish date option from document properties. Try using the Developer controls and Date Picker. Quick vid here. somup.com/c0X0oygaQE

Thank you for your comment. David is brilliant …. I learnt these design principals, and more, from David’s videos. I have referenced him in my comments. Thanks for posting the link.

Hi Kelly Thanks for taking time to comment. I’d love to grant your wish but not sure exactly how. I was inspired by the brilliant JP. Philips and have credited him in the comments. I don’t understand what you mean by the project? I’m glad you thought the tips were great. Thank you.

I created this video in PowerPoint

@@SMEOfficeSupport I added the original TED talk, including the Supercar example, in a comment. Here's the full link that you may want to add in the show notes. czcams.com/video/Iwpi1Lm6dFo/video.html&ab_channel=TEDxTalks

Hi Kevin, sorry I don't use a Mac so would have to Google that! lol

You’re welcome glad this helped. 😊

Hi, I've done a very quick vid. Hopefully you can follow: somup.com/c3ielnunCj

@@SMEOfficeSupport thank you so much!!

If you use the document property for date (remember what it’s called) on your front page, you can copy paste that field in your header. That should update each time you update the front page. Sometimes you have to refresh the document. Or close and reopen. Hopefully it should work without having to do that.

Select the document property, you’ll need access to the developer tab (customise ribbon in options). in the developer tab you should have properties when you’ve selected the field. You can change the name there to something more relevant.

Happy to help!!! X

Hi, you maybe have an older version of Word. If you can't find Document Property in Quick Parts. Try adding the command to your Quick Access Toolbar. Here's how somup.com/c3evDROVl5

@@SMEOfficeSupport Hi, thnks Carrol... for Your feedback, But, I mean, If we need additional "Field" of Document Property, so we need more than the default, Lest sample, If I need add "Web Address", "Date Created", or others "Field" so I can make more auto type template in the document form.

Hi, yes it can be done. If I've understood you correctly, copy this link into your browser to watch vid. :-) somup.com/c3eUlbTSsI

@@SMEOfficeSupport tysm that was very helpful <3

@@SMEOfficeSupport Sorry, this changes the label in the top left corner, but the original name is still visible when the field is empty! Is there a way to change this too?

@@SMEOfficeSupport Thank you for this video, the only thing is when you delete the name that you had shown, it still shows "Author" for the blank text, the label is changed but the word inside the brackets is not. Is there a way to change this too?

@@cortneyjane1 from the developer, tab choose Design Mode, then change the field content in the square brackets. When done Turn off Design Mode. X

I would look at MailMerge for that! You can place fields from a table in excel or Word that holds the variable information. Couple of clicks merges doc with data in fields.

@@SMEOfficeSupport interesting! Thank you very much for this I will check it out!

@@SMEOfficeSupport gosh though isnt that for email though???

@@Yapah.S.Da.K.O.S can be but also to create multiple documents. Create main doc Create table in word or excel that holds variable information i.e first, last, department In main document add variable fields I.e first, last, department Use mail merge wizard to create multiple docs I don’t have a video on this but this is a fairly good starting point support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-mail-merge-to-personalize-letters-d7686bb1-3077-4af3-926b-8c825e9505a3

Glad it was helpful! :-)

You’re welcome

Hi, this method is for a documents where data is repeated throughout. You can reuse the document by saving as another file name and changing relevant data. If you have multiple records to merge into a word document you should use mail merge. Not sure if that answers your question? 🤓
