Is there a way to add a bookmarked text section from the main document to
header or footers? So that if the Text in the body of the document changes,
this is auto populated into the header or footer?

Would this be better done in VBA or is there a straightforward way of doing
it without adding code to the template?

You can put REF fields in the header or footer, same as you would in the
body of the document. The only difference is that fields in headers and
footers have to be updated independently of those in the body.

can you walk me through how to do this. I tried to enter a
REF field in my footer, as I would in the body of a document and I can't get
it to work.

Press Ctrl-F9. Within the curly brackets type { REF bookmarkname }. Press
F9.
