MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / August 2004auto text fields in header
Is it possible to have reference form fields in the header? I want to use a reference field in the header to automatically populate after the user completes certain text form in the main body of my form. The ref function works fine as long as it's in the main body but when I try to insert it in the header I get a message that it can't locate the source. This is in Word 2000. Thanks! The problem is that the field in the header is not updating. If you run an update macro on exit from the field, it will update the field. You will find suitable code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Is it possible to have reference form fields in the > header?

If you use a ref field in your header it should work. The bookmark name of each field is shown in the field's properties. Otherwise a styleref field in the header this should work. You would need to format the field using a character style. SignatureWhat you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help.
