eapg13&nbsp;In my opinion, the simplest method if using a recent version of Word for Windows is to use mapped content controls. This is, I believe, idea 7 in Greg's list. There are some built into Word that you can repurpose. You can also create your own.&nbsp;See: Repeating Data Using Document Property Content Controls and Other Mapped Content Controls&nbsp;&nbsp;Videos by Laura Townsend:Repeat text in MS Word Using Document Property content controlsRepeat Text in MS Word by Mapping Content Controls with the XML Pane
