Copy cell from 1 table to another table automatically
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 |

Copy cell from 1 table to another table automatically
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. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Formula in Report" wrote in message ...

Copy cell from 1 table to another table automatically
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?

Copy cell from 1 table to another table automatically
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. -- Suzanne S.

Copy cell from 1 table to another table automatically
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.

Copy cell from 1 table to another table automatically
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. -- Suzanne S.

Copy cell from 1 table to another table automatically
I think Suzanne's suggestion to use the Document Property called Title is an
excellent one. In case you are unfamiliar with Document Properties, go to File, Properties, Custom tab. Type "Title" into the Name box and the actual title into the Value box (e.g. "Procedure1"). Click OK. Now, in your document, you can insert a field that refers to the Title property anywhere you like, as often as you like. So, to keep things consistent, open the header where the procedure title appears first, and replace the text with a field - Insert, Field. Set Categories to Document Information (the dialog will remember this etting next time). Select DocProperty in the Field Names list, and the corresponding list of properties appears in the scrollable Property window. Find the Title property and select it. Click OK. Now go to the cell in the second table where the procedure is named, and do the same - Insert, Field, DocProperty, Title, OK. Just to make sure that it's working properly, go back to the Document Properties and change the value of the Title property. Return to the document, select everything (Ctrl+A) and update fields (F9). Both locations should update to the new Title. Why not save a cut-down version of this document as a template for future procedures? -- Richard Search the web and raise money for charity at http://www.everyclick.com/ "Suzanne S.

I don't believe you would be able to create a custom property named Title
because there is a built-in Title property (which could just as easily be used), but the principle is sound. You could also include a UserForm to collect the data and write it to the property. -- Suzanne S.

Copy cell from 1 table to another table automatically
Hi Aurora,
If you bookmark the whole source cell, your cross-reference will insert the complete cell (including borders) and a an empty paragraph before it into the destination cell. If your destination cell is formatted with a set height, you might not, therefore, see the cross-referenced data. What you need for this to work is to bookmark only the text in the source cell. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Formula in Report" wrote in message ... Thank you for responding.
