Hello Everyone,



I have several word documents that have tables. I would like to link the same cells (different information) into another word document. So if doc A says peach in the cell and doc B says apple I want them to merge into another document collectively to the document would say peach apple. Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks

You could use INCLUDETEXT fields for this, using bookmarks for whatever you want to replicate. If you want to replicate an entire table, bookmark that and use a single INCLUDETEXT field for the entire table; otherwise, for individual cells, bookmark their contents and use separate INCLUDETEXT fields for each cell. For more details, see Insert|Quick Parts>Field>IncludeText. See also:

The issue is that I want to compile the information from the same cell into one document. The scenario is that I write notes in the same form saved under several dates. I am trying to gather all of the text from that one cell across all of the documents and have it compile into another document that would be the summary.

OK, but you did say you wanted to link the content. Whichever way you go about that, you'll end up with LINK fields or INCLUDETEXT fields. The simplest way of setting up such a link is to open both documents, copy from the source then paste into the destination using Paste Special with the 'paste link' option and the paste format of your choice. When you do that, Word will create bookmarks in the source document for the link references.
