Default Using Forms in header and footer (or linking file properties)

"Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in
:

DocProperty fields can be inserted in the header/footer. Form fields
cannot, and REF fields don't work in the header/footer of protected
forms (but StyleRef fields do, and they update automatically).


A couple of follow up questions. If I created a custom file property
called "CO NUMBER", is there a way to create the field without going to
InsertField ? Can I just type the following?

DOCPROPERTY "CO NUMBER" \* Upper

When I save the DocProperty don't update? How do I update the whole
document?

I've ready the help about StyleRef fields and I'm unclear what they are
used for and if I want to use them. Could you elaborate...
