I've searched and have answered about 90% of my question.

I'm hoping to create in Word 2002 a multi-page resume and
carry over the contact info from the first page to the
top of subsequent pages.

I would prefer not to have to use the ASK field if
possible.  Because a lot of the info is free-form, I
don't see how it could be done with a form.

I have a "field" using the dummy macro on the top of the
first page:
{MACROBUTTON NoMacro Type Employee Name}
Surrounding this field definition, I have created a
bookmark entitled "EmployeeName".

In the header of subsequent pages, I have created the
field {REF EmployeeName}.  

The problem is that as the I create a new document based
on this template and click on the field text "Type
Employee Name", the bookmark is gone and the REF field
goes undefined.

Is there a way of allowing a user to click on the
MacroButton field without destroying the bookmark?

Someone suggested the possibility of embedding the name
in a DocVariable, but I'm unclear as to how to reference
one, let alone how to set such.

I'm not afraid of programming, but I'm not familiar with
VB so my learning curve will be pretty steep.

Thanx tons,

Curtis

Bookmarks and macrobutton fields are always going to be volatile. You could
use a bookmarked fillin field which would be less so, but the elegant way to
do this is with a user form and to this end you will need to kick into vba -
