Is there a way to make a field the same all the time. I know it can me done in Access, but I cannot find the way in Word. In other words, if the State field is always the same state, do I have to keep typing it?

You mean in Word's "data form"? No, there's not; not in any version of Word.

Word can merge directly to an Access database, though. So you could do all the data entry in Access?

I'm assuming you have a "fillin field" in a Word
document. You can make the fillin default to specified
text, but you have to "OK" it. You can also change it if
you need to. Not sure if that's what you mean. But if
its the same all the time, why do you need a field?
