I copied it from a document of mine and I thought Matt may like to know that
this option is available. ;-)

Why the \* caps switch? The example Matt gives is lowercase ("two hundred
thirteen").

This can be done in Word.
You can create a Bookmark at the cell you wish to repeat.
Then where you want to repeats, Cross Reference the Bookmark, with the
"Insert reference to:" Bookmark text, this is now a field, which probably
look like this (to view right click, toggle field codes): {REF numbertext1
\h} (number1 is the bookmark name). This code needs to be changed to {REF
numbertext1 \* CardText \*caps}.

If the text to be repeated will be changed, ie for different clients,
bookmark probably wont work as this is linked to certain text and if this
is
edited the bookmark could be lost due to overtype.

Safer to create a style for this whole Table cell, then use a field with
StyleRef to repeat throughout the document. This style will stay with the
cell, regardless of editing the text.
Insert, Field, StyleRef, Options, Styles, "NumberText1", Add to Field, OK,
Uncheck "Preserve formatting durting updates", Ok.
This field can be copied throughout the document.
{STYLEREF Numbertext1 \*cardtext\*caps}
Hope this helps

Does anyone know of a way to link the numbers in a Word table to the
corresponding spelled out numbers throughout the text. I am dealing
with engineering documents where total repair quantities are tabulated
in a summary sheet in the front of a report, then the quantities are
repeated several times throughtout the report in spelled out form (
E.G. In the table:213, then 3 pages later: two hundred thirteen). I
need a way to link the number to the spelled out number so that I can
quickly edit the table and the text will follow suit.

Is this something that could be done by converting the entire document
to Excel, setting it up in there with the formula bar, and the
converting back to Word? I'm leary of this as things always seem to go
kooky when I convert back and forth.

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Matt
