Use a cross-reference to a bookmark.

Automated copying of data throughout a document
I have read the instructions at
http://www.officearticles.com/word/c...oft_word .htm It does not seem to work when the field that I am wanting to bookmark is a calculated field. When I put a calculation into the field the bookmark is gone from the list. Then I tried setting the bookmark before entering the calculation; that worked until I put in the calc. At that point I got a undefined bookmark warning on my destination field. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help.

The calculation field is going to have a bookmark name. Double click
the field before protecting and you can see what it is then. If you want to repeat the result of this field then use a REF field to the bookmark. Say the field is bookmarked Text5, then: { Text5 } is using Ctrl+F9 to enter the { } is all you need. |

this doesn't work. When I double click on the calculated field nothing
happens. Perhaps I am doing the calc incorrectly. What I did was create the field and then use the formula option under the table menu. After I put in the formula the bookmark name disappears.

Connie,
Are you using a protected form? Where are the variables coming from in your calculation? Are you using tables cells? Like A1=2 B1=2 C1= {Sum(Left) } ? Then just use { =(C1) } where you want the calculation value repeated in the table. |

No. But if you select the result to the calculation and then assign it
a bookmark name (InsertBookmark). Say you assign it the name C1. Then you can just use a REF field { C1 } outside the table. |
