Copying cell contents

[Ray Little]

I have a document with a table and a cell where I enter a name. I need to
have that name automatically copied to a location on the next page, so I
don't have to reenter the name again (or forget to). Can someone point me
in the right direction for solving this problem (especially if I don't have
to do any programming).

Thanks,
Ray

Highlight the entire cell, copy to clip board (Edit, Copy) proceed to
were this information is to appear. At this point Past Special (Edit,
Paste Special...) from the pop-up window, click on the Paste Link radio
button then select Unformatted Text from the list, click OK. Now every
time that cell is up-dated and the exited out the cell all other info
will be automatically up-dated as well.

Highlight the text that you type in information, copy to Clip Board
(Edit, Copy). Go down to the area that you want that information to
appear. At this point you will do a Paste Special (Edit, Paste
Special...) from the pop-up click on Paste link radio button then
choose under As list Unformatted Text, click OK and you are set.

Thanks. However, for some reason I don't get automatic link update. In
order to make the link work I have to go to Edit | Links... and click on
Update Now (the radio button for Automatic update is selected but doesn't
seem to work).

Thanks,
