Hyperlinking or cross referencing in Word 2007
I am trying to hyperlink or cross reference certain cells in one document to
certain cells in another document. I can hyperlink to the right place but the information is not updating. I am basically trying to complete two forms at once to avoid a vast amount of redundancy. |

Hyperlinking or cross referencing in Word 2007
Insert text form fields and then use REF fields to repeat the data. Remember
to check the "Calculate on exit" setting for each of the referenced fields. For more on forms in general, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...nTheBlanks.htm. Note that in Word 2007, the commands for form fields can be found on the Developer tab of the ribbon. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Dave" wrote: I am trying to hyperlink or cross reference certain cells in one document to certain cells in another document.

Hyperlinking or cross referencing in Word 2007
I apologize; apparently, I misunderstood your first post. What I suggested
can be used to repeat data *within* a protected document; for more on this and similar methods, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm. Cross-referencing data *between* documents will be trickier, especially if the documents are protected for forms. Hyperlinking is more straightforward: you can copy the text and then use Home tab | Paste | Paste as Hyperlink. But, again, this will be more or less impossible in a protected document. For more knowledgeable assistance, you may want to ask in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Dave" wrote in message news  Can you be more detailed like step by step instructions?
