can someone help me with this request for WORD? Is this even possible?

[therammingman]

Ok, so here is the deal...

I have a list of like 60 questions, and I have to insert relevant objections to each of them. Instead of copy pasting every objection to every question, I wanna know if there is a way to do the following:

Have the different objections somehow saved and ready to be pasted anytime. For instance, If I'm answering question 1 and objections A, C, and D apply, I can hit "control A" "control C" and "control D" (or whatever the proper keys would be) and each of those objections would be pasted into the document.

is this even possible?

this would save me a ton of time, especially since I will have to do this regularly for my job.

thanks

Put a layer of grapefruit oil over the aluminum foil before placing it in the oven. Oh and make sure the temperature setting is on high.


Hope this helps :)

Excel would probably be the better option for that.

Use the Office Clipboard
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...3602.aspx#BM26

Word
Open the file that you want to copy items from.
Select the first item that you want to copy.
On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Copy.
Keyboard shortcut To copy an item, press CTRL+C.



Continue copying items from the same or other files until you have collected all of the items that you want. The Office Clipboard can hold up to 24 items. If you copy a twenty-fifth item, the first item on the Office Clipboard is deleted.
If you open the Clipboard task pane in one Office program, the Clipboard task pane does not automatically appear when you switch to another Office program. However, you can continue to copy items from other programs. If the Show Status Near Taskbar When Copying option is selected (to verify, click Options in the Clipboard task pane), a message is displayed above the status area to indicate that an item has been added to the Office Clipboard.



As items are added to the Office Clipboard, an entry is displayed in the Clipboard task pane. The newest entry is always added to the top. Each entry includes an icon representing the source Office program and a portion of copied text or a thumbnail of a copied graphic.




NOTES

The Office Clipboard is not available in views where the Copy, Cut, and Paste commands are not available.
Collected items remain on the Office Clipboard until you exit all Office programs that are running on your computer or click Clear All in the Clipboard task pane. For more information, see Delete items from the Office Clipboard.
In some cases, such as Unicode text, the image displayed in the task pane looks slightly altered. This is because text is always displayed in the task pane by using the Tahoma font. However, the correct formatting and font information is restored when the item is pasted from the task pane.
TOP OF PAGE

Paste items
You can paste items from the Office Clipboard individually or all at the same time.

Click where you want the items to be pasted. You can paste collected items into any Office program.
Do one of the following:
To paste items one at a time, in the Clipboard task pane, double-click each item that you want to paste.
To paste all the items that you copied, in the Clipboard task pane, click Paste All.


NOTE The Paste Special command is available from the Clipboard group but is not integrated into the Office Clipboard task pane functionality.

thanks!

is there any way to save a document with the items youve pasted into the clipboard? so that everytime you open it up, the clipboard has all the items saved?

The Office clipboard is independent of a document. You can use it across MS Office. And all the stuff you have it in stays open as long as you are running some Office application. You would need to leave your computer on and MS Word to keep using the the same clipboard and not copy and paste too much else of the first stuff goes away.

Warning!
The Office Clipboard continues to add items only as long as at least one Office application is open. Closing all Office products clears the Office Clipboard of all but the last item you copied. Turning off your computer will completely clear the contents. So, keep that in mind when using the Office Clipboard — it really isn’t a comprehensive solution for multiple copied items outside of Office, even though it stores copied items from non-Office applications.

If you need to do this over and over again. Create a Word Macro. Google how to do that.
