I have designed a document change management template using a table at the top of the page to capture the document details policy/document name, author, approval and revision date. Because most documents created in this template will be more than one page long, I needed to add a footer at the bottom that references the subsequent pages to the first page for document integrity (appeasing our auditors). So for that footer, i've created another table using a field to reflect the file name and path, the page number and the revision date. I'd like to have the revision date in the table at the top of page one automatically populated in the revision date cell of the footer table. That way the footer data would be totally automated...no need for our users to touch it.
This kind of cell data sharing is easily accomplished in Excel with a simple "+C3' formula where C3 is the cell address of the source data. Is there any way to do the same operation in a Word table? Closest thing I could find in the topics so far suggested User Form functions, which is really convoluted and would undoubtedly get messed up by the many people using the form.
