MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2007print merge fields in the header?
When printing a merged document from a database, I loose the information in my headers and footers that pulls from the database. The main document is fine and prints well. But the headers and footers resort to the chevron merge fields. Please advise. The header and footer is a transient area that runs through the document, whereas the records themselves relate only to the page on which they appear, so mergefields in the header are unlikely to work. You should however be able to reproduce information from the page into the header using Styleref fields.

I think this might be exactly what i need. > The header and footer is a transient area that runs through the document, > whereas the records themselves relate only to the page on which they appear, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > The main document is fine and prints well.

Styleref repeats the content of the first (or last) content of a paragraph on a page, to which an identified style has been applied. It is documented in Word help!
