Field Code : get bookmark (text) without table format

[Jess]

I want to get the value in a TABLE with bookmark (e.g. STYLE) using field
code with the following 2 ways :

{ = STYLE \* MERGEFORMAT}
I can get the value if it is numeric but get "0" is it is text.

{STYLE}
I can get the value either it is numeric or text in a table cell. However, I
want to get a value only, without the cell.

How can I get the value using Field Code??

Answered elsewhere. You must exclude the cell end marker from the bookmark
so that it just contains the text.

How to exclude the cell end marker??
Becuase I want to use it on template, so that I need bookmark a while cell
instead of value.

Give us some more information of what it is that you want to do with the
template so that we may be able to suggest another way of doing it that will
avoid the problem.

for example, a template contains a table with 2 columns (A & B) and 2 rows (1
& 2) :

cell A1 is a label (e.g. Style No.)
cell A2 is a label (e.g. Article No.)
whole cell B1 bookmarked as STYLENO
whole cell B2 bookmarked as ARTNO

B1 & B2 will be input by user and get the value through bookmark that will
be used on other page to eliminate duplicate input. So that I use
{ = STYLENO \* MERGEFORMAT} or {STYLE}
to get the value ONLY (without table format).

Have any easy way the do this??
Many thanks.

And how is it used on the other page?

You could use VBA to get the contents of cells B1 and B2 without the end of
cell marker or to modify the range of the bookmark after the user has
entered the data
