use command button to copy a table

[bparise]

Without knowing whether your document uses formfields or content controls, and what protection, if any, it might use, it's impossible to code a solution. Accordingly, you should attach a copy of your document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

Thanks very much for your reply, this is my first VBA and my first post so thanks for letting me know how to proceed.

The doc is a simple word doc, with tables and content controls.
if a form fields method is better then I would appreciate knowing that, but I have never done one of those and the 'form' would need to be expandable because of the added tables that may or may not be needed.

I expect this process will take a couple of posts so thank you for your feedback in advance.
The doc is attached.

It is in early stages so formatting is not final but the content of the 'tables' is there.
As mentioned, it will be used for peer review of CAD designs, so there may be no items or as many as 50 items per category, no way of knowing in advance.
the categories I mention are mechanical, placement, constraints, routing and documentation. Each will have it's own 'add item' button after the last item table in each section.

Hope it makes sense.
