I apologize if this is off base, but having talked with a lot of you before I know we deal with Word too.

I have a document with A LOT of field codes, which i've never worked with.
I know how to find them (alt + f9) but when I "edit field" or "Update field" the existing information stays the same.

Basically its a name / address etc. 20 to 30 times throughout, so I thought instead of find/replace everything every time, if I just edit the field codes it could be a lot easier.

I did not set up the field codes. Is it even possible to edit them if you didnt create them? If so how...

Appreciate any insight in this matter. Cheers.
