I would like to create a letter in which i have a text. The same text must come at other places also. Does anyone knows a simple way for doing this?
 
Could you describe the problem in more detail. I don't know what you mean by "The same text must come at other places also
 
i would like to create a refer to.....
 
To try and help clarify, if I use an Excel analogy, I think the OP is looking for the Word equivalent of having say a dozen different cells in Excel all pointing to say cell A1, such that if the text in A1 changes, then all dozen of the other cells that refer to A1 also change.

I would assume that you are asking about Word.

You would type the text; highlight it, go to Insert, Bookmark, and give it a name.

Then, wherever you want that text to appear, you would go to Insert, Field, choose Ref and pick the text that you had bookmarked. Of course, you would need to click OK.

Hi xlhelp,

I think Insert|Cross-Reference is a lot easier than the Insert|Field route for the typical Word user.

Speciba macropod; tend to forget the obvious at times.

I liked John's idea as well; different way of thinking.
