Autotext and "title"

[thallman]

I am updating the template for out Standard Operating Procedure
manual-- trying to make it more user friendly for people to use. I
the footer, I want the text to read "SOP: ##.##" and "[SOP title]".
because of brevity, the "SOP title" (sometimes quite long) is no
always the file name and the SOP number "##.##" is not used as th
filename because we want a bit of a description in the filename (mor
than just a bunch of numbers).

So, I have been trying to figure out how to link plain text, a Wor
table cell or pasted Excel cell to be linked with a line in the footer
For instance, the top of each SOP will have some information befor
the outline starts, two bits of which are the title and the SOP #.
Whatever text is in the title is and whatever the # is, I want that t
be automatically be shown in the footer.

I cannot seem to get it to work. Any help woiuld be greatl
appreciated

Type and update your document name on the properties
summary tab. You can use field codes to insert the
information in your documents from there.

E.g., {SUBJECT \* MERGEFORMAT } displays what's in the
subject field.

{ TITLE \* MERGEFORMAT } display the content of the title
field.

Make sure you press Ctrl in insert the braces rather than
trying them.

thallman,

Have a look at STYLEREF fields in Word's Help.

That should be Ctrl F9 to insert field code braces. Field
codes can be used and updated for a wide variety of
information that you want inserted throughout a document
and requires only the single entry. Make sure you update
fields to get current changes.
