How can I change a name throughout a lengthy contract?

While Jay has covered the immediate issue, if you are going to have to do
this regularly, insert a REF Field in the document eg {REF Name
\*Charformat}. Copy that field to the clipboard, then replace the name in
the document with the content of the clipboard i.e. ^c

Add an Ask field to the start of the document { ASK Name "Insert name" }

Add the following macro TO THE DOCUMENT

Sub AutoNew()
Dim oStory As Range
Dim oField As Field
For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
For Each oField In oStory.Fields
oField.Update
Next oField
Next oStory
End Sub

Save the resulting document as a template.

Create new contract documents from the template.
