Combining tables in word documents
Has anyone tried to combine tables from two or more word documents. I have
several files that were originally the same. The tables in all of the documents were filled out by different people, so I have several files. I want to combine just the tables from all of the documents into one file for editing? I hope I have relayed enought information. Thank you! |

Combining tables in word documents
Copy and paste would seem easy enough, but I'm guessing that you want this
to be more or less automated? One way would be make use of INCLUDETEXT fields. First, bookmark each of the tables, and then, in the target file, click Insert | File (Insert tab | Object | Text from File in Word 2007). In the dialog box, locate the file name. Click the Range button and type the bookmark name. Click OK. Click the arrow on the Insert button, and choose to "Insert as Link." Repeat the procedure for the other documents/tables. Once the tables have changed in the source documents, you can update the INCLUDETEXT fields by selecting them and pressing F9. For more on INCLUDETEXT, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...textfields.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Carolynawolfe" wrote in message ...
