How to link a document field to a table cell?
Thanks, eventually I did find the bookmark&REF function. However I have found
it is easy to loose the bookmarks. Any suggestions for not losing them?

How to link a document field to a table cell?
Unless you change your document to a protected form, a bookmark _can_ be
deleted quite easily. But if you are the only person editing the document, you know about the bookmark and you can be careful not to delete it. One way to make the bookmark more "safe" could be to select the entire table cell when adding the bookmark (then the bookmark will not be deleted unless you delete the cell). However, this means that the reference to the bookmark will also insert the entire table cell - I don't know whether this is acceptable. Bookmarking the entire table cell will make sure that the reference always contains all contents from the table cell. If the bookmark includes only the text, there is a risk that content is added outside the bookmark. For details about such bookmark problems, see the demos at: http://www.thedoctools.com/index.php...erence_trouble For help on forms, see: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...nTheBlanks.htm -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Chad@KSA" wrote: Thanks.

How to link a document field to a table cell?
Hi Chad,
If the cell you want to refer to has only numeric data in it, you can bookmark the entire table, then use a formula to reference the cell. I think your users would be much less likely to delete such a bookmark - unless they delete the entire table. As an example, say you select the table and bookmark it as 'MyTable'. You could then reference cell C1 from that table via a formula field coded as {=SUM(MyTable C1)}. You can use the same technique to replicate data across tables and to perform maths on data in the tables from outside the tables concerned.
