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).
