I have two Word tables, each in its own Word .doc.

Word Table 1 is a table of project titles (column 1) and project details
(columns 2-x).

Word Table 2 is an empty, carefully formatted ‘Project Summary” table. (like
a report ‘screen’)

The idea is to peruse Table 1, select Project (row), click a macrobutton,
and generate a Project Summary (Table 2), populated with the data from
project row 1.  Then, select  some other project (row)  in Table 1, and
generate another populated Project Summary (Table 2) for that project, etc,
until a total of x Project Summary tables have been generated.

I know how to make macrobuttons, but am unclear on how to construct the
syntax that would be needed.

The overall goal is to achieve something akin to a database (using just Word
tables) that, when manually queried, can generate populated, formatted MS
Word 'display tables'.
 
This could be used to generate formatted ‘bios’ from a Word table (database)
of employees, or to generate project summary tables for use in proposals to
show past performance, etc.
