I haven’t tried any of these so I don’t know if they’ll do what you want.Īnother alternative would be to use a macro to update fields and bookmarks on opening or saving the document. * File > Options > Advanced panel > General section : Update automatic links at open. If you do not see the assemblies, you may. On the Assemblies page, select in the Component Name list, and then hold down the CTRL key and select. Choose Add New Source and fill out the information about your source.
Go to References > Style, and choose a citation style. * File > Options > Display panel > Printing Options section > Update linked data before printing In Solution Explorer, right-click your projects name and then click Add Reference. Put your cursor at the end of the text you want to cite. * File > Options > Display panel > Printing Options section > Update fields before printing In Word 2010 (and likely 2007), try these: There are some Word Options settings that *might* do what you want.
Select the field that contains the re-used text. So she needed to break the link between the original PPE list and the one in the procedure. Once all the reviews were completed and the document signed off, the procedure table was to be split from the main document into a new document of its own. In some situations, you might want to repeat a block of text in a document, but when the document’s finished, you might want to break the link between the two.įor example, a colleague had a PPE (personal protective equipment) list near the beginning of her document that she needed to repeat in the main procedure table. Whenever you change any text in the original list, just click inside the other list, then press F9 to update it (or Ctrl+A then F9 to update ALL fields in the document). Select the bookmark name you added in Step 3, then click Insert. Select Bookmark as the Reference Type, and Bookmark Text as the Insert option. Insert a cross-reference (Word 2007 and later: References tab > Cross-reference). Go to the place in the document where you want to re-use the selected text. 
Give the bookmark a meaningful name, click Add, then click OK. Insert a bookmark for the selected text (Word 2007 and later: Insert tab > Bookmark). This text can be a phrase, one or more paragraphs, a bulleted list, a table, etc. Select the block of text you want to repeat later in the document. Whenever you change the original text, you only need to update the fields in the document for the changes to apply to the second (or third) instance of that text. You assign a bookmark to the text you want to re-use, then insert a cross-reference to the bookmark text. Of course, it would be nice if you could use a tool designed to deal with this sort of single sourcing (such as Author-it), but you’re stuck with Word. If another author takes over the document, they may not know that they have to update this text in two or more places if there are changes, either. You don’t want to write it twice (or more), and you’d rather not copy/paste it from the other location as that means that you’ll have to remember to maintain it in both places if there are changes. You have some text in a Word document that you’d like to repeat later in that document.
