MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2006Headers for Forms
I am creating a form that we will use as our template for Policy & Procedures. The data will be over many pages. I am trying to create a header that will repeat data that is on the first page. I am using drop down menus, and text fields. I tried to reference the fields, but they will not update when in the header. Any suggestions? Thanks Use a StyleRef field. It will update. You'll need to create a special character style (with no formatting changes) and set it to the data you want repeated. That is the only place the style is used. A StyleRef field updates as soon as you make changes.

Thanks A Ref field will update for a dropdown with a print preview. You could have a macro that goes in and out of print preview as an on-exit macro.

Thanks I tested it on a protected document. I didn't write and test a macro, though.
