Default Automatic Labels: A Dream...


Our office has many clients, and each client has thousands of documents
which have to be indexed and labelled.

Currently there is a 'master file index' for each client, which is a
word document containing a table. One column of the table has the
titles of all the documents we need to index. The others refer to page
numbers and are not relevant here.

We use a certain brand of labels for the folders in which hard copies
of the documents are kept. In order to print onto these labels, we use
a template which is also a word document containing a table whose cells
are the correct size to print onto the labels.

What I would like to do is have a way of automatically copying the
title column from the 'master file index' to the table designed for the
labels? I think it can be achieved using fields, but I'm not entirely
certain.

The idea is that next time we create a 'master file index' for a new
client, the titles of all the documents we enter into it will
automatically be copied to the label template, which can then be
printed onto labels.

Please help - until then I'm the guy that copies and pastes the
document titles from one table to another!

Pete
