Need table cell to repeat in a footer
In my word document table in one of the cells, I type an employee name. I
want whatever I type there to also show up in a footer in the same document. In the footer, how do I go about referencing that tables cell. Do I static text type "Employee Name" and then insert "field" and make up a formula referencing that tables cell. If so, what is the formula. I have tried this numerous times and can't figure it out. Help. |

Need table cell to repeat in a footer
The following may work for you:
You could create a special paragraph style to be used in the specific table cell (below named €śMyRefStyle€ť). If you want the text in the specific cell to look exactly as the remaining table text, base MyRefStyle on the style that you use for the remaining table text. You could then insert a StyleRef field in the footer that inserts text that is formatted with MyRefStyle (type "Employee Name: " or whatever you wish in the footer as static text). When inserted in a header or footer, a StyleRef field prints the first (or last) text formatted with the specified style on the current page (the text will be repeated on the following pages until another text with the style in question appears). See Words online help on €śField codes: StyleRef field€ť for more details about the field. To create a StyleRef field, go to the place in the footer where you want the text to appear and do the following: 1. Press Ctrl+F9 to insert a set of field braces. 2. Between the braces, type: StyleRef €śMyRefStyle€ť 3. Press F9 to update the field (if this does not toggle field codes, press Alt+F9). The text in the StyleRef field will automatically be updated when you change the corresponding text in the document. When using fields, I recommend that you set up fields to always appear with gray shading on the screen - this makes it easy to distinguish fields from normal text (select Tools Options View tab Field shading Always). The gray shading does not print. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "frednme" wrote: In my word document table in one of the cells, I type an employee name.
