I am hoping that the OP is bookmarking only the text, not the whole cell, etc.
I only ever had the need to bookmark text, not cells.
Phew ;-)
All the best.

What I found was that, if the entire cell is bookmarked, then the
cross-reference is in the form of a table cell. If only the text is
bookmarked, then any change in the bookmarked text overwrites the bookmark,
and you get a "not found" error message for the REF field.

That is to say Cross-reference the Bookmark.

Rest easy, you are not doing anything wrong, only that Word does not seem
to
like the creation of cross-references within Table cells.
Try this, create the cross-reference outside the table, then drag/drop it
into the cell you want, should work now.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for responding. I am not doing something right. Let me try
to
explain what I did and maybe you can spot my problem. Page 1 is a
procedure
header that is made up using a Table (5 rows and six columns). One of
the
middle cells is the TITLE cell. This is the one I want to copy to the
following pages actual "headers" made up of 3 rows and 5 columns. On
page
one, I highlighted the "Title" cell, clicked on Insert bookmark and
named
it "Title". Then I went to page 2 header, highlighted the title cell,
clicked on Insert Reference Cross reference. Ref type = Bookmark;
Insert
Ref = Bookmark text, for which bookmark = "Title" and then cliked on
insert.
But this did not work; did not copy the page 1 title to page 2. Can
you tell
what I did wrong?
Thank you again for your help - aurora

Hi,

You could put the table header into the page header. Alternatively,
you can bookmark the header entry, then insert a cross-reference
to the bookmark in the next table's header.

I am using Word 2003.

I have a document that has a table as a header on the first page of
a
procedure. One of the cells contains the name of the procedure.
The 2nd
page (and beyond) contains another similar table, without as much
information
as the table on the first page. But the 2nd table also contains
the name of
the procedure. I want to put a code in the 2nd table that will
automaticlly
copy the name of the procedure from the first table. I know I
figured out
how to do this years ago, but can't remember how to do this now.
Can anyone
help me? This would save me a lot of time if I can remember how to
do this.

Thank you - Aurora
