 Posted: Wed Jul 01, 2009 11:19 am Post subject: The Best Practice? Import a document into a named table |
 |
|
I have a template with a number of 1x1 tables, each with their own name.
I want to "automagically" fill each cell with a particular document.
Table "Fred" gets document "Fred"
Table "Bill" gets document "Bill"
Table "Jane" gets document "Jane"
What's the best practice for doing this?
Thanks

That's obvious, but not "automagic".
I want to automate the process so I don't have to do it by hand. Recording a macro doesn't work because the macro doesn't identify the table by name, and there are as many as 15 named tables (and an equal number of fields) in the document.
The Fields I can set up to be user input fields and I'm prompted for the correct information for that day.
It's the table data that has me stumped.
In my old word processing program, this was VERY easy to do with a Macro. I'd hit "Run macro, the macro would go to the proper subdirectory and read the name of the files and pull in the prober file.
I'm very new to this and haven't had time to learn the macro language.
