I see in a below reply how to repeat CELL information within a single
document with tables (bookmark & cross-reference). But, is it possible to
set it up so that information entered into a Table-CELL in saved TABLE1.doc
will be automtically updated in a separately saved TABLE2.doc too?? I want
to keep the similar tables saved separately for ease of use, so being able to
repeat CELL-info accurately across multiple tables would be a real timesaver.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi mokshadavid,

You can do this with an INCLUDETEXT field. Simply bookmark the table and use the bookmark name in the INCLUDETEXT field. For example
you might code the field as:
{INCLUDETEXT "C:/Path/Branch/Main.doc" Tbl1}
where 'Tbl1' is the bookmark name.

Cheers

Hi, I have tried repeatedly to do this INCLUDETEXT to include a bookmark from
a single cell, but I am getting the error message "Error! bookmark not
defined!" when I try to narrow the INCLUDETEXT field to reference a BOOKMARK.
My bookmark is defined in my other document, so I don't know what I am doing
wrong. If I just put the pathname in the INCLUDETEXT field, it will put the
whole table in the INCLUDETEXT field in the cell (that's not what I want - I
just want one single cell of TEXT repeated & updated automatically across
docs), but anytime I try to reference the BOOKMARK in another document, it is
giving me an error message. Please help! Thanks!

After some trial & error, I was able to use the INCLUDETEXT feature correctly
for my intended purpose. Thanks for your help!
