REPEAT FIELD IN HEADER
This is similar to the previous post and I wonder if anyone can offer
any help. Our users fill out a letter template using text form fields. The 'form' is not protected and they use the F11 key to move thruogh the fields. I would like one the first field of the address (name of recipient) to be repeated in the header which appears when/if the letter goes to more than one page - so that the header on page 2 and subsquent contains the same name as in line 1 of the address. I looked at other postings but the only thing mentioning headers is using the styleref field and I don't really understand it! |

REPEAT FIELD IN HEADER
1. Open the template file as a document (via File | Open). Create a
paragraph style for the name, and apply it only to the location where the name should be typed. 2. Click Page Setup on the File menu. In the Page Setup dialog box, click the Layout tab. Enable the "Different first page" option. Click OK. 3. Insert a page break (temporarily, so that you can see the second page of the template). 4. Display the header. Press Ctrl+F9 to insert field delimiters, {}; within these, type STYLEREF "name_of_style_here". In other words, you now have: { STYLEREF "name_of_style_here" }. Press F9 to display the field result. 5. Remove the page break. 6. Save the template file. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jacqui" wrote in message oups.com...
