Office & productivity software forum: Auto copy cells from one table to another in Microsoft Word

Thanks for your help Kees

That would work and is a simple solution however I am really looking to do this using a single word document only as this will be something i share with others and it is best for it to be in one document. Also the cells i wish to copy contain text and no calculations will be needed.

Thanks again

Thanks for that it does work but it doesn't automatically update or change when i type in the original cell that it is referenced to. If it could do that but make it automatically change/update it would be perfect. I don't mind spending a bit of time setting up cell by cell or whatever as once its done it will be used repeatedly over a long time.

Thanks again i appreciate the effort. I have very little free time and have exhausted my knowledge of Word, but still learning. I wont be able to check this till next week so please dont take offence on a delayed reply.

Thanks again

That is a simple solution however i am making this document for a whole group of people to use and many are less than computer literate and giving them even simple instructions like that will put them off using it. I need this to work with no iput from the user so that the table filling in process is made quicker and easier, which to be honest is what these computer things are supposed to do.

Thanks

That could work i dont know much about databases and i know that the other staff would not use a different program just to save copying and pasting it themselves. I was just looking for a simple fix with word.

Thanks again

I cannot help in how this is done, but, I have done it while helping my son with one of his Office class assignments. I tried it on a label and each time I made a change to one, the others updated without refreshing. I have been looking for the process and asked my son if he had his old book (unfortunately, no) - I am currently trying to do the same thing with columns. I guess it's cut and paste
