table in word document
Hi ?B?U3Vuc2hpbmU=?=,
I HAVE MULTIPLE WEEKLY TIME SHEETS CREATED IN A WORD DOCUMENT WITH A TABLE INSERTED. EACH WEEK I HAVE TO GO INTO 2 FIELDS OF THE TABLE AND CHANGE EACH MULTIPLE DOCUMENT. IS THEIR A WAY OF CHANGING A FIELD ON MULTIPLY DOCUMENTS WITH OUT OPENING EACH INDIVIDUAL DOCUMENT? Only if the documents are created in Word 2003 and saved as WordProcessingML (XML). Then it can be done using the usual XML programming tools/interfaces through something like VB6 or .NET. A possibility might be to have all this particular information in a separate Word file, bookmarked. Then you could use Insert/File with the RANGE button to insert the content of each bookmark in the appropriate place. Update the information in this "central file", within the bookmarks, and it will update in the multiple files. That would be the only non-programmed solution available. Note: ALLCAPS is considered the equivalent of shouting (impolite). You'll find it easier to carry on a discussion in Internet forums if you type normally.

Cindy:
Thank you for your reply. I am new to your recommendations. So it might take me a couple of days to sort - play with it. The word document - table was created in Word 2003 and emailed to me, I use Word 2000. Do you think it still can work? Thanks again for your assistance, and reminding me of cap etiquette.

Hi Judy,
I am new to your recommendations. So it might take me a couple of days to sort - play with it. The word document - table was created in Word 2003 and emailed to me, I use Word 2000. Do you think it still can work? The suggestion with bookmarks and IncludeText fields (Insert/File + RANGE, with a link) should work in all versions of Word, back to 6.0 :-) But I completely understand that the approach appears a bit complicated (it is) and you'll need to do some experimenting to find out whehter it can work for you. Don't hesitate to come back and ask if you have questions about the procedure I outlined :-) Note: some newer versions of Word, and some newer Service Packs, disable the automatic field updating. If you notice the links aren't updating, Ctrl+A then F9 will force all the fields in the body of the document to update. You should then see this article to get the details about this new security measu Prompt to update fields: http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=330079 WD: How the Behavior of the Word Fields Changes After You Install the Word Update I HAVE MULTIPLE WEEKLY TIME SHEETS CREATED IN A WORD DOCUMENT WITH A TABLE INSERTED.
