Creating a table of effective pages
I am creating an employee Standard Operations Manual and need to be able to
show the effective status of each individual page in the document. In the past this was done by creating a table with a column for each page number followed by columns for the page's revision number, effective date and a blank to enter initials. The data was manualy updated with each page revision. The footer in my document already contains the info; Page x of x, Date, and Revision #. Is there some way to link this data to the appropriate cells in the table so that whenever a change is made to the footer it updates the Effective Pages Table automatically? Thanks for the help. |

Creating a table of effective pages
Well possibly. You can bookmark the entries in the footer and reference them
from the Status Page. But I am not quite clear about how you have this set up. Do you simply have a running footer throughout the document? If so, you can simply put the same fields in the Status Page as in the Footer. But maybe every page is its own section with different footers and you manually type in the date and revision number of each page? More information is needed. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Jeff" wrote in message ...

Creating a table of effective pages
Thanks for the reply Terry,
I inherited this project from someone else but I believe they manually entered the Rev. # and date manually in conjunction with the automatic page x of x. I'm open to trying any new techniques to streamline this process. The only requirement is that each of the apprx. 75 pages of the document must have a control block which contains that page's revision number and date of revision. Each page is revised on a seperate timeline as need be. Is it possible to have a footer common to the entire document which would contain the page x of x info but also have a unique header for each page which would contain the Rev. number & date. If so, could this information in the header be linked to the page that contains the "effective pages" table so that any change to the individual headers would automatically update the table? Thanks for your ideas. Jeff "Terry Farrell" wrote: Well possibly. You can bookmark the entries in the footer and reference them from the Status Page.

Then using a bookmark should work. If you bookmark the manually entered date and revision number, you can then cross-reference the bookmark from the Status Page. Terry "Jeff" wrote in message ...
