Default Duplicating cells across different tables

Hi,

Is it possible to have two tables, one table on page 1 and the other
table on page 2 of the document and then be able to enter a title into
one of the cells in the first table and have it duplicate itself into a
cell in the second table.

I am using the headers for other stuff.

If it can't be done with tables is there any other way of automatically
repeating
text across a document.

Thanks

You can do this using fields. The menu commands you nned are Insert -
Bookmark, and Insert - Fields (set categories to Links and References, and
look for the REF field). Basically, you bookmark text in one place, then
reproduce it elsewhere using a REF [bookmarkname] field. Check the Help
system for futher info, and post back here if you run into a wall.

Cheers,

Thanks for that, I have found the help page and all seems to work.
