How to link columns from one table/page to another table/page?
I work with tables that are larger than can fit on one page. I would like to
have certain columns of the first page to appear on all the pages without having to retype or copy them manually each time. Also they should automatically update based on a change in the original source column cell on the first page and be protected from editing in the second onward pages. Any Ideas how to do this simply ? Speedy |

Any Ideas how to do this simply ? Speedy Bookmark the source, and insert cross references in the other locations. If this is an ordinary document, you'll have to force the cross references to update. One way is to have the "Update fields" option checked in Tools Options Print, and either print or just go to Print Preview and back. Another way is to select all (Ctrl+A) and update all fields (F9). If it's a protected form, with text form fields as the sources, then open the Properties dialog of each form field and check "Calculate on exit". That will force the corresponding cross references to update as soon as you tab or mouse out of the field. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
