I've seen this done but never quite worked out how it works.
Scenario: firm of solicitors has lawyers and legal secretaries who do
the typing for individual lawyers. One secretary will normally do all
the typing for one or two lawyers, but obviously one of the other
secretaries does their typing when they're on holiday.
Secretary turns up at work, logs on (or enters a username in a
stand-alone installation). Up pops a list of lawyers and the
secretary identifies who dictated the tape she's working on at present.
This sets the Author and typist fields in the document properties, which
then appear in the header or footer.
I know how to get the fields into the header or footer, but how would I
get Word to prompt, using a default setting for both fields, for the
document's Author and typist each time you open a new document using
that particular template?
