Insert text from one file into the cells of a table in another?
We have a series of steps for a test procedure that are repeated several
times in many documents. In software, we just right a function and then call it. Not a big deal. However, what we must do is to make the test procedure match the test log step for step. For instance: 26 Do something Verify something 27 Execute subroutine 27.1 Do something Verify something 27.2 Do something Verify something .... 28 Do something Verify something 29 Execute subroutine 29.1 Do something Verify something 29.2 Do something Verify something .... { INCLUDETEXT ... } doesn't seem to have the capabilities that I want. Thanks for the help Mike |

Consider using AutoText and AutoText fields.
Still don't know how IncludeText isn't working for you, though? You need to bookmark the text to be copied (and bookmarks are easily destroyed during editing) and reference the bookmark. In a table, you would not want the bookmark to include the end of cell marker. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Insert text from one file into the cells of a table in another
If I understand what you are saying, I would bookmark a cell in the table in
the source file, and then reference that bookmark in the destination table? What I really want to do is to reference upwards of 10 rows of 3 columns in a table. Bookmarking 30 elements and referencing them would be painful at best. Further, this same process could be repeated as many as three times in each of perhaps 30 documents. I can add an entire table into the cell of another using { INCLUDETEXT ... }, but that doesn't work because what I want is to insert the contents of the table in the referenced file into the table of the referencing file. I also want to be sure that a changed to the number of table rows in the referenced file is made available at all referencing points. Does that make sense, or am I just rambling?
