Table- Some cells on 1st page to automatically show data on following pages.

[Wanda Helfrich]

I have a word document of 4 pages. Each page is a form set up in
tables. Each page is a different form but contains some of the same
data such as the client name (ex. Exxon), the location or the job
number(ex. 1234567), etc. I would like to be able to enter this info
on the first page and have it automatically show in the cells chosen on
the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pages.
How would I make this work? I am not advanced in Word.

thanks

Hi Wanda,

If the document contains a single table that continues over each page, AND
the information that you want to repeat is in a row(s) at the top of the
table, you can select those rows and then from the Table menu, select
Heading Rows Repeat.

If that doesn't suit, if the document uses formfields, to each of which will
have been assigned a bookmark, you can insert cross references to the text
of the bookmarks on the following pages. In the properties dialog of the
formfields into which the data will be entered, check the calculate on exit
box so that the cross references will be updated with the information that
is entered into the field when you exit the field.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
