Editing Parent and Child pages at the same time

Question

I have a table of information that is included in both the parent page as well as the child pages.  To eliminate duplicate effort, is there a way to update the table simultaneously on both the parent and child pages? Or is the only option to update each page at a time?  As of now, I have to update each page separately when I need to make an update.

Create an Excerpt macro first, then copy the table and paste it into the macro.

Like this.

Tip - copy and paste the table, save (Update) the page, and if everything's OK, edit the page again and remove the original table.

Thank you @Kristian Klima ! Reviewing the macro articles. Is there a way to insert a macro into an existing table? Right now, when I test adding a new macro I cannot apply it to an existing table.

By the way, you can bring it to a new level by using a Include Page macro, which allows you to drop the entire page into another one - say that you have a procedure that is the same for 10 processes.

Content re-use is fun and a great way to save both your time and effort.
