Fields in Word
Here is a block of text for each $ amount I want (without using VBA) to
create a reference (like you can name cells in Excel). And since this is repeated three times in the Word document I would like the other instances of the number to automatically be filled in. I am thinking it's a FIELD thing. Just can't figure it out. Thanks. EXAMPLE We have a significant amount of indebtedness. On December 31, 2009, we had aggregate indebtedness of approximately $11.2 million of which $1.9 million, including current maturities of $10.6 million, represents obligations of Company A, Inc., and $3.0 million represents an obligation of Company B. |

Select each instance to which you want to create a reference and then insert
a unique bookmark to it. Then in the other locations where you want the referenced item to appear, insert a Cross-reference to the text of the bookmark. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

PERFECT! Thank you.
One additional question - once again - without using VBA. Can I use FIELDS or BOOKMARKS in Word that reference a particular cell in an Excel workbook? Thanks.

Fields in Word
If you select your cell in Excel and Edit-Copy, then Edit-Paste
Special in Word and select "Paste Link", you can paste a link in one of a number of formats. If you then press Alt-F9 you will see that you have inserted a LINK field along the lines of { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "C:\\mywbs\\mywb.xls" "Sheet1!R2C3" \a \f 4 \r } Once you've got the syntax, you can create such LINK fields by hand, by inserting a pair of field code braces ({ }) via ctrl-F9 and typing the rest of the text. You can also reference named ranges. Just in case you wanted to, be aware that you can't really nest fields in LINK fields (at least not in recent versions of Word) so you can't do stuff like {SET cellref "R2C3" } { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "C:\\mywbs\\mywb.xls" "Sheet1!{ REF cellref }" \a \f 4 \r } You can actually nest the field, but Word will unlink the nested field the next time you update the LINK field (and/or probably when you save or re-open the document).
