Hi everyone,
I just thought of one more question--does anyone know, if you have a field in document A and a field in document B, and you want to reference the results of both fields in document C in an entirely new field, is there a way to do that? Basically, I have a NUMWORDS field with a slight edit in both documents A and B, and I'd like to have a field in document C that adds those results together, so something like: { {NUMWORDS "filename A"} + {NUMWORDS "filename B"} } I think it might be an INCLUDETEXT problem, maybe, but I'm really not sure. Any help would be great! Thanks! Jezzica85 |

LINK fields are the answer. You can insert these manually by bookmarking the
source then inserting a LINK field in the target, or, as a short cut, copy the source field then switch to the target document and use PasteSpecial, checking the 'Paste link' option. You'll end up with a field that looks something like -- { LINK Word.Document.8 "Document2" "OLE_LINK1" \a \t } OLE_LINKn is the default bookmark that Word inserts: you'll see it if you switch back to the source document and display bookmarks.
