When I do this, I get the entire table cell inserted (nested) in the cell in
the second header. How do you avoid this? And if you've managed to get
around that problem, are you using F9 to update the REF field (they don't
update automatically).
Unfortunately, a StyleRef field won't work here. Can you use a DocProperty
field instead? You'd need to create a custom document property (or use the
built-in Title property). Write the appropriate text to that property and
use a DocProperty field for the custom document property or a Title field if
you use that property.

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
