How to replicate results / create new field names
Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create new field names? Currently I'm writing a test report document. This document contains around 50 tests and each test may be around half a page long. At the end of each test I write the result which will be Pass, Fail, Unknown or something like that. The plan is to have a table either at the begining or end of my document containing all these results. I would like however for the table entries to be field codes so that it would automatically contain the result written at the end of each test. I would prefer not to have the write the result in twice - once after the test and secondly in my table of results. I was looking around my WORD 2002 SP3 and all the field names seem to be predefined. I went Insert - Field. Maybe there is another way so that I only need to write my result in one place and this is updated in my summary table. All help more than appreciated. -Michael |
