Default reference a cell w/text content

Hi, I'm trying to reference the content of a cell that
holds text in the remainder of the same document.

I've been unable to find the right commands... here's what
I've tried (PT = bookmark for Table, A1 = cell)
{ REF {(PT A1)}}
{ (PT AQ) }
{ =(PT AQ) }
and various combinations of the above. Unfortunately,
nothing helped.

Appreciate any assitance.

Hi Peter,

The only way you can reference text is by bookmarking the text itself. Table
bookmarks and cell references don't work with text - only numbers (not even
dates/times).

Cheers
