LEN()

CBG

I have a table in word and I would like to use the LEN function that is
available in Excel, to get the length of a word in another column. I have
tried this unsucessfully. Can it be done?
Help would be much appreciated.

Do it in Excel and paste the table as a link.

This is a useful method. While changes to the original (excel) document are
reflected in word, if I make changes to the table in the word document the
corresponding column does not automatically update itself. I have to go back
to the excel file to do this.
Can I have it that I only have to work with the table in the word format?
Thanks again.

Hi CBG,

Word doesn't have a len() field function, so you need to use something like
Excel or a macro.

Cheers
