Formatting multiple tables and columns efficiently?
Hi, so I had to create a very long document with a split cell that had an image and some text under it. We used three columns and created X rows.
The problem is that it has to remain in alphabetical order, so any time a new piece of data needed to be inputted we'd have to rewrite the entire thing. I know there is a better way to do this but not quite sure how, is the answer in finding a way to create columns that behave like a regular paragraph would? For example: On that table I need to insert Data C and image while keeping everything in order. |

Probably a better way to manage this would be to keep the image filenames and their captions in adjoining columns in an Excel workbook. Then, whenever you want to update the collection, do the updates in Excel.
For document generation, you could then use Word's label mailmerge facility, putting the mergefiels for both the image and its caption in the same 'label'. If the data in Excel get updated, simply re-run the mailmerge.
