Can I create some sync'd text?

Question

I want to know if there is a function that synchronize certain stuff, like text or pictures. Which follows the document save.

Like I can insert a text somewhere, and I can reference it somewhere else in the document. If I change one of them the another one will follow the change.

Does quick part do it? I still don't really understand how to use it and the philosophy behind it.

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Bookmarks and REF fields are really the way to go for this. But you can create custom document properties.

Answer 2

Nevermind I figured it out, seems no function on word really suits my needs. The document properties thing works but I cannot create more fields and it is not meant to be use like this.

Answer 3

Thank you for all the response, I read through the page that both of you gave me and I found that method 7, content control suits my need most. Because every field acts as the master.

But I still have a problem, that I don't know how to add a new property of the document. I am using Office 2013 and the UI seems changed a lot.

Edit:

I am so confused right now, what is the difference between orange and blue?

How can I copy a field, name it?

Answer 4

Select the text and then insert a bookmark and at the other location, insert a cross-reference to the text of the bookmark.
