You could put formfields in the cells into which the data is being entered
and in the corresponding cell in the last column, insert a cross reference
to the text of the bookmark assigned to the formfield. You will need to
check the "Calculate on exit" box of each of the formfields so that the
cross references are automatically updated with the data that is entered.

Client has a table with multiple columns, but when filles in the cells in
one
column they want the last column to auto fill with the same information
that
is being entered. But it's not numbers, it's text. I know how to relate
cells in Excel, but haven't been able to get it to work in Word - appears
only to work with numbers, but client is filling in text. I'm assuming
there
has to be some kind of formula in word to be able to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks
