I have a main Word document, from which I have to extract some text and cross reference them in another Word document; and have it updated as needed.


I've tried inserting a cross-reference, but it works only for the text in the same document; can't get it to point to another doc.

With Hyperlink couldn't get any updates.
How can I do that? Can do VBA, if required.
Many thanks in advance

For that, you insert an INCLUDETEXT field in the destination document that references the applicable bookmark in the source document. For more details, see: https://www.msofficeforums.com/158485-post6.html

Paul, many thanks for your quick reply and apologies for my late reply. Long weekend here in Germany!

It seems to work well; however the update doesn't seem to work.
I am using Office 365 German Version.
Both files are in the same folder.

Please clarify what you mean by

I couldn't get it to update yesterday; thus the statement "doesn't seem to work".
Today, it works like a charm! Can't figure out what's going on; but it works now.
Many thanks again.
Cheers
