Creating Repeating Tables using the Word AgileShape

Prerequisites

• Microsoft Word installed in your environment.
• An understanding of Microsoft Word templates.

  For information about creating a Word template, see the online help for Microsoft Word regarding Word templates, Mail Merge fields, and bookmark fields.

Navigation

1. In Microsoft Word, create or open a template file.
2. In your Word template, insert a table, or navigate to an existing table where you want to add a repeating node.

Instructions

1. In your Word template table, in the row where you want to start a repeating node, place your cursor in the far left table column.
2. On the Insert tab, click Quick Parts > Field.
3. In the Categories list, select All.
4. In the Field names list, select MergeField.
5. In the Field name field, enter TableStart:[node name].

   Replace [node name] with the name of your repeating node. The start and end tags must indicate the same node name. For example, TableStart:Employee and TableEnd:Employee.

   Example:

   Name	Department	Title
   <<TableStart:Employee>>

6. Place the cursor in the table column where you want to end the repeating node.
7. On the Insert tab, click Quick Parts > Field.
8. In the Categories list, select All.
9. In the Field names list, select MergeField.
10. In the Field name field, enter TableEnd:[node name].

    Replace [node name] with the name of your repeating node. The start and end tags must indicate the same node name. For example, TableStart:Employee and TableEnd:Employee.

    Example:

    Name	Department	Title
    <<TableStart:Employee>>		<<TableEnd:Employee>>

11. Within each column of your repeating row, between the TableStart and the TableEnd tags, insert a merge field with the name of the custom attribute you want to insert from your process. Repeat this procedure for each table cell in your row.
    1. On the Insert tab, click Quick Parts > Field.
    2. In the Categories list, select All.
    3. In the Field names list, select MergeField.
