Auto Updating Fields from a Word Table
My boss is trying to create a standard letter with a few fields that will
change depending on who the letter is addressed to. This would be perfect for a mail merge, except that my boss would like the table to be in same document as the standard letter. Since you can't create a mail merge from the same document that you are working in Im finding this task difficult. So again, I would like to create a word table at the top of a word document that would be linked to a standard letter below with a few fields in the letter that will auto-update with the data in the word table at the top of the document. Is this possible? |

Auto Updating Fields from a Word Table
I would suggest that what you should be doing is creating a template with a
userform in it. See the article "How to create a Userform" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Jonathan" wrote in message ...
