MS WORD - Linking a field in footer to a field in the document - Help
How do I update the footer with the text entered into a field in the
WORD document? In other words, I need to have a field (say field A) in footer linked to a field (say field B) in WORD document such that: 1. When field B is updated field A updates (shows text in field B) automatically. 2. Vice versa does not happen. Can someone help, please? Thanks in advance for replies. |

If these are form fields, you will need to run a macro on exit from the
field to update the footer - you'll find suitable code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Alternatively format the field in the document with a unique character style and use a Styleref field in the footer to call that style. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org SpaceApe wrote: How do I update the footer with the text entered into a field in the WORD document?

Graham,
Thanks for reply. I am not sure how to "Format the field in the document with a unique character style". However, I can do Insert-Field-StyleRef-[style of the field in document] to "use a Styleref field in the footer to call that style." Could you please clarify, please? |

Just make sure you set the style type to character style or you will
reproduce the whole paragraph. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org SpaceApe wrote: Never mind, I did Format-Styles and Formating...-New Style-[Unique Name for style] Thanks for help! |
