[Tex Shalter]

I am trying to have a number appear a second time in a document to be
derived from a formula in a table.

for example, I have a table that shows a cell (sum left), I want to have
this same sum appear in another table or page in a the document. And work
with a field update

Maybe it's not possible in word,
Thanks to anyone

Hi Tex,

I am trying to have a number appear a second time in a document to be
derived from a formula in a table.

for example, I have a table that shows a cell (sum left), I want to have
this same sum appear in another table or page in a the document. And work
with a field update

Select the field that performs the Sum calculation (just the field, not the
entire cell). Insert/Bookmark and give it a name.

Now you can use a REF field (or Insert/Cross-Reference) to pick up the
bookmark's contents.

Thanks Cindy,

Will give it a try soon

The "REF expenses" field appears (when showing field codes) but it doesn't
show anything in the cell with field codes turned off, or when update fields
run.

When you have the display of bookmarks activated (ToolsOptionsView) what
appears inside the markers of the bookmark that is referenced by the REF
field.

Hey Doug,
It displays a grey "I" in front of the number in the cell

The grey I indicates a single-point bookmark. You need to select the
contents of the cell and bookmark the whole thing.

Hi Tex,

It displays a grey "I" in front of the number in the cell

Select the entire number, then Insert/Bookmark again, giving
it the same name.

If there's just a grey "I" in front, it means you didn't
follow my instructions exactly: "Select the field that
performs the Sum calculation (just the field, not the
entire cell). Insert/Bookmark and give it a name."

The bookmark needs to CONTAIN the information, it needs to
look like [this]: square brackets around the information.
