Automatic, updated summary table in the end of document
Hello everybody,
I'm creating a document for my test report. In this document I describe all test made example: Test 1 : Name Description: Description of test Result: OK Sign: tilde85 Details: bla bla bla In the end of document I usally create a table composed by name of test and result: Test 1 OK Test 2 OK Test 3 NOK Test 4 NOK Now I want to create an automatic and updated table. I tried to use TOC in word with style, so each field has a definite style. But with TOC I get: Test 1 OK Test 2 OK .... I want to create a table, summary of my test that I can update during insertion of new test. Is it possible? Any idea? |

With a Table of Contents (TOC), each entry will appear in a separate paragraph, not sequentially on the same line. And, provided the content for a given TOC entry are all in a single paragraph (e.g. Test 1 OK) the content will appear that way in the TOC. For what you are doing, all such entries should use the same Style; not a separate one for each test. That way, simply clicking in the TOC and pressing F9 is all that would normally be required to update it.

Sorry I have not been complete in describing my problems. I have a test with different field (date, result, action, ecc...) in the final table i need to summarize test done with result (OK, NOK), date and one other field (action). So it is more complex. |

Yes, it is more complex. You may want to use Mapped Content Controls for this. It is not automatic in the setup, but is in the automatic updating.
See Repeating Data (Populating Multiple Like Fields) and Content Control Tools. |
