Any tool to modify headers before printing?

[Fazz]

Can anyone tell me how to make a macro that can modify the header to have
the filename, overwriting it's current header? I need to automate a process
of converting over 1000's of documents to have their filenames printed as a
header. These documents already have headers on them, so I would need to
overwrite the current header.

I've been told that I would need a printing macro that would place the
filename into the header? Does a tool already exist, or would I have to
create a macro using VB? Is there a place where I could get a good start?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx...
