Cell references in tables?
Hi,
I have an A4 page with four tables on it. Each table has the same information, and I am trying to print four-of-the- same on the one A4 sheet. With spreadsheets, if you change a cell value, another cell that references it will also change. Is this possible to have cell referencing to work inside a table in Word? I want to do this so I can type data changes in the one table, and the other three tables will be updated with this change. I know I can do the job in Excel but I want to know if I can do it in Word. Many thanks for your help. Adam |

Hi Adam,
You could put a bookmark around the first table, and use three REF fields to repeat the table; or you could bookmark each cell in the first table, and use REF fields in the cells of the other three tables. After you change the first table, you'd have to select the whole document and press F9 to update the fields. But all of that is the hard way. Just create the table once, full-page width and with the font size set to double the desired size. Then in the Print dialog, set the "Pages per sheet" box to 4 pages, and enter the page number four times in the Pages box, like this: 1,1,1,1 Word will automatically scale the page to 50% and print four copies on one sheet. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org The Shaker wrote: Hi, I have an A4 page with four tables on it.
