Formula help?
I want to have the document set up so that when I type a name or word in
place in side the document/letter, that name will be instantaneously entered or equaled somewhere else in the document in place that I specify. Sort like in Excel, where I can have one cell equal another cell. Whatever I type in one cell, after I press the enter key or click outside the cell, the cell that is equal to it, automatically updates with the information. I hope I described well enough what I am looking for, if not please ask for specifics. Thank you in advance, Mike -- Top Notch Admin |

Thank you in advance, Mike Hi Mike, Put a bookmark around the first occurrence, and use the Insert Cross-Reference dialog to insert the other occurrences as references to the bookmark. There are two differences between this and the Excel-like behavior: (1) When you change the content of the bookmark, you need to tell the cross-references to update. Either select all (Ctrl+A) and update (F9), or go to Print Preview and back. There isn't any provision for automatic updating. (2) You have to make any changes within the bookmark; you can't change any of the cross-references and have that reflected back to the original. Also be careful not to delete the bookmark when you edit -- as a precaution, go to Tools Options View and check "Bookmarks" so you can see them as gray brackets. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
