Hi Word community, I want to understand whether I can use the field-codes as an alternative to Bookmark/Cross reference. Here's my issue. My last page in my document is intended to be a data entry page for another database. I want it to consolidate data entered into the rest of the preceding document so an administrator can manually load into a separate database. I have tried the bookmark/cross reference approach but it keeps failing. Not always...can't crack the logic (very frustrating).

Scenario
There is a bookmarked cell in a table on page 1 with the words '[enter content here]'. That bookmarked cell is cross-referenced on the back page. When new data is entered into the bookmarked cell, and the Update field option chosen...it errors. Having done a bit of research I was thinking, the field codes allow content entered in one section to automatically update in another. I knew someone who was a Word wiz who suggested people should adapt that functionality more...lost contact with him. Dam

Can I use these instead? If yes, how? Am a novice in Word automation. Have ruled out the data entry form

Help pls

Actually, while I use Windows 8 and MS Office 2013 at home, it really needs to work on MS Word 2010 at work. Don't know if that is a factor or not
