Hi all

I have 2 documents X and Y

The documents have the same structure, they have a 5-column table.

Column A has the same content on both documents.

I move my cursor down the 5th column (column E) in document Y and i need
to use a macro to match the corresponding line (based on the content of
column A which has the same content in both docs) in doc X and copy the
content of Column E in X into Column E in Y.



Example:

Table in DocX contains:
A..........E
cat calico
dog beagle
bird sparrow

Table in DocY:
A..........E
dog <blinking_cursor>


I press my macro key and
Table in DocY becomes:
dog beagle


Can you please help me with this?

Thanks a lot!

This question really belongs in a Word group. I suggest
microsoft.public.word.programming.

(Personally, I'd do it in Excel and just embed the worksheet if the doc is
necessary. Tons easier that way, IMO.)
