Hi Stefan,

Coding the switch as:
\# 0
or
\# 0.00
or
\# ,0.00
will give more consistent results. Using a # can result in leading and
trailing 0s being displayed as spaces (eg instead of getting '0' or '0.10'
you might get ' ' or ' .1 ').

Cheers

I can think of two methods which would omit the cell formatting (such as
borders) and just reference the contents of the bookmarked cell.

One method is to copy the cell and then use the Paste Special dialog box
to
paste "Unformatted Text" as a link (click the "Paste link" radio
button).
This inserts a LINK field that references the contents of the cell.

Alternatively, if the cell contents are numeric, you can create an
ordinary
cross-reference and then add a formatting switch to the field code; this
suppresses the cell formatting. For example: After you've inserted the
cross-reference, press Alt+F9 to show the field code. You will see
something
like this: { REF bookmarkname }. Add \# "#" to the end of the field code
and
press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 again to hide the field code.


Clarification: If your numbers include decimals, you will have to use
something like this instead (for two decimals): \# "#.##" (be sure to use
the decimal sign specified on your system).

Hello,

If to make bookmark on the cell of the table and then to use Insert |
Reference | Cross-reference the result
will be cross-referenced cell of the table. Is it possible to create
cross-reference link with existing cell of the
table, not creating new one?

Sincrerly,
Aleksander
