Use document variables

To use a document variable, you must first define the variable. The following paragraphs teach you to define document variables, add document variables below calc sections, insert document variables in a calculation document, and delete document variables.

Note:

The following only applies to Tedds for Word.

Define document variables

At the beginning of your document, type the variable name, an equal sign, and the value of the variable.
Select the variable, and calculate the selection.

The variable is now stored in the Document variables list.

View document variables

Place the insertion point anywhere in the document.
In the Tools ribbon group, click Variables.

The Variables dialog box appears.
If the Document tab is not already open, click it to view document variables.

Add document variables below existing calc sections

In the Calc Section ribbon group, click Insert.

The Add Calc Section dialog box appears.
Change the type to Revert to document section.
In the Title field, type a title for the document section.
If you want the calc section to start on a new page, select the Insert page break option.
Click OK to create the new calc section.

Write out document variables into a document

Place the insertion point where you want to insert document variables.
In the Tools ribbon group, click Variables.

The Variables dialog box appears.
Click the Document tab to view document variables.
Select the variables that you want to insert in your document.
At the bottom left corner of the Variables dialog box, select the variable details that you want to insert in the calculation document.
Click Write Out.

Delete document variables

In the Tools ribbon group, click Variables.

The Variables dialog box appears.
Go to the Manage tab.
In the Document variables list, select the variables that you want to delete.
Click the Delete button.

Note:
If you do not plan to recreate the deleted document variables, remember to erase the calculations that define or use the deleted variables.
