One word doc automatically updates another word doc
I used the control/F9, {}, then insert file option in a attempt to update a
source doc and have it automatically update a target doc. 1) When I opened the target doc the only information there from the source doc was a lone footnote...WHY??? 2) I change the footnote in the source doc and it did not automatically update the target doc when I re-opened it....WHY??? Thank You Very Much for Your Help!!! |

One word doc automatically updates another word doc
1. What is the field code of the INCLUDETEXT field, exactly? Press Alt+F9 to
find out (acts as a toggle). 2. To see the modified contents, you will have to update the field in the target document: Press F9 to update the selected fields. This can be automated via a macro (see for example http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "FJD" wrote in message ...

Hmm, apparently search results at word.mvps.org sometimes return
"*content.htm" links rather than the more useful "framed" versions of pages. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Thanks, Stefan.

I guess I'm too lazy to do something clever like that. :-)

One word doc automatically updates another word doc
It's actually pretty efficient (though I'm sure there are more efficient
approaches still). I have the most common references saved as "signatures" in OE and the rest in a (currently) 23-page Word file. That size file would be unusable if I didn't have easily remembered shortcuts for most of the commonly used URLs. For example, I can use Find to search for the IncludeText URL by searching for "detex." My StyleRef article is "lere," http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...tRidOfLine.htm is "idof," http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm is "octi," and so on. I've also got them categorized roughly according to NG (Application Errors, Page Layout, etc.), with headings that show up on scroll. It's not the sort of file you create overnight, but if you start one and add to it every time you reference an article, it builds up pretty quickly. I know I have a lot of garbage at the end (references to "preview" articles about Word 2007, etc.), but I haven't gotten around to clearing that out. I do try to update URLs as needed, though. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
