It really wouldn't be a problem to repeat those cells headings if it meant a more expedient method of turning Doc A into Doc B. The manual cutting and pasting that I'm doing is going to take longer than I have to complete this project.

That is much less of an issue than being able to determine which content in Doc A goes into which cells in Doc B.

You also haven't said whether there is always a fixed relationship between the tables in the two documents (eg row 5, column 3 of table 2 in Doc A always does into Row 7 Column 1 of table 1 in Doc B). If there isn't a fixed relationship of this kind, there will be significant difficulties in transferring the data.

From what I've seen, reformatting Doc A wouldn't be any easier.

The fixed relationship between the docs only relates to certain cells. Here's the mapping.


ROW 4, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 10, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 4, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 10, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 5, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 12, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 5, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 12, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 6, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 14, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 6, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 14, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 8, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 17, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 8, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 17, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 10, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 20, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 10, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 20, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 11, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 22, COLUMN 1 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
ROW 11, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 2 in Doc A → ROW 22, COLUMN 2 of TABLE 1 in Doc B
