hi,

i have setup a table in one document with bookmarks. in
another a use the text in the bookmarked text using
includetext like so:

{INCLUDETEXT "G:\\Testing\\Table.doc" Name }, a
{INCLUDETEXT "G:\\Testing\\Table.doc" Sex }
{INCLUDETEXT "G:\\Testing\\Table.doc" Title },
makes {INCLUDETEXT "G:\\Testing\\Table.doc" Wage } an hour.

and it comes out to so:

Alex, a Male Square Dancer, makes $14.50 an hour.

my problem is that i want to do this with text form fields.
but when i try to use the bookmark from the text form
field, i get an empty bookmark in the document that uses
the include text. how do i make this work?

thanks,
george

I can't recall when I tried this last... Which version of
Word do you have?

You might also try selecting the formfield (in unprotected
mode, of course) and applying the bookmark name through
Insert/Bookmark. native Formfield bookmarks don't actually
surround the entire field, but are internal to the field. So
making sure the bookmark surrounds the entire field can help
with various problems...
