Hi everyone,
I just thought of one more question--does anyone know, if you have a field
in document A and a field in document B, and you want to reference the
results of both fields in document C in an entirely new field, is there a way
to do that? Basically, I have a NUMWORDS field with a slight edit in both
documents A and B, and I'd like to have a field in document C that adds those
results together, so something like:

{ {NUMWORDS "filename A"} + {NUMWORDS "filename B"} }

I think it might be an INCLUDETEXT problem, maybe, but I'm really not sure.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

LINK fields are the answer. You can insert these manually by bookmarking the
source then inserting a LINK field in the target, or, as a short cut, copy
the source field then switch to the target document and use PasteSpecial,
checking the 'Paste link' option. You'll end up with a field that looks
something like --

{ LINK Word.Document.8 "Document2" "OLE_LINK1" \a \t }

OLE_LINKn is the default bookmark that Word inserts: you'll see it if you
switch back to the source document and display bookmarks.
