Automatic creation and population of tables, driven by style selection
Hi all, first post so be gentle with me!
I am using Word 2010 on a Win 7 PC (for work) and have an issue with a reasonable sized document that I produce on a regular basis. The document is very text heavy analysis of a regular event which results in regular "Conditions", "Comments" and "Recommendations", (CC&Rs). These CC&Rs are interspersed throughout the document but also collated together in three tables within the documents Executive Summary. Currently, I produce the document then manually 'harvest' the CC&Rs an populate the table by hand (well, copy and paste), which is time consuming and a source of potential errors (particularly if one gets changed for any reason). What I would like to do is set up styles for each of the CC&R types (I am happy with this part) and have the tables in the Exec Summary auto populate based on the selected styles. I see the final tables containing the following information; Comment, Ref No, page no. I have tried to do this with a TOC but am unable to get the information formatted properly. I'm not averse to changing things if it makes them easier and quicker. Many thanks in advance, Steve J. |

There are a number of ways to do this. Without knowing anything about your creation process it is difficult to advise which is beast for you, but see http://gregmaxey.com/Repeating_Data.htm
I would be inclined to think initially in terms of linked content controls.
