Thank you for the link. Lots of good info there.

All of those examples rely on the source data being stored in a separate file, or in the case of simpler data, hard coded within the VBA routines.

I was wondering if there was means by which I could store the data within the Word file itself. For example as a Word Table.

In Excel, you can have a "veryhidden" sheet where you could stash a reference table that users would never see. Is there any way to do a similar thing within a Word Template? A hidden "page" that doesn't print?

I'm just trying to avoid having to distribute two files to users for this solution. This solution will run locally on one's PC, so no ability to reference a static network location for the reference data source. I'm trying to eliminate the need to coordinate the placement of a secondary reference file.

Any thoughts?
