Reference a word in another Location

Question

Hi all

I need to have a table (or what ever it is recomended) that contains names (Like: names of my servers) then with-in this document i will be using the server name alot story short once i change the value i'd like to get changed in all of the document

I am doing this so that in my table i have 2 column , CELL (1,1) is the name if the standard NTServer name , CELL (1,2) is the same name that will be changed once the customer gets the document and change it to its own NTServer name , once changed, i want the document to change in all pages with the new name.

I do not want to use find and replace

thank you

Answer 1

Hi Nik,

Would a Stye Reference field work for you? You could setup a unique style name for each table cell and reference it later in the document. When the user fills in the value of the table, the remainder of the document is customized.

{STYLEREF ServerName \ * MERGEFORMAT}

Answer 4

Hi Nik,

I've emailed the sample. It looks like this.

Server Name	Model Number
Dell E08SB	1234

 

 

 

Your Dell E08SB model number 1234 is the best on the market.

The cell containing the server name I gave a paragraph style of ServerName and the model number cell I gave a paragraph style name of ServerModel. When you run the command ActiveDocument.Fields.Update all fields will populate throughout the document.

Hope this helps
