Automatic Header Comlpetion/Insertion

[Monty]

Not sure if this is the proper forum for this question
(1st time poster); my apologies if not. I have need to
place either text fields or boxes on a cover sheet for a 7
page form with six blanks (on the cover sheet) the user
must fill in. Thereafter, I want their responses to appear
in the header of each subsequent sheet of the form.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I might accomplish
this?

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance!

Hi Monty,

If this is a form using formfields so that protecting the document for forms
is not an issue, then use text formfields on the first page and in the
header, use cross-references to the text of the bookmarks that are assigned
to the formfields. Check the Calculate on Exit property for each of those
formfields so that the cross-references are updated.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Doug,

Thank you! This does work great and it would have taken my hours to
stumble upon it! I really appreciate it.
