automatically inserting info from 2 fields in a form into the hea

[John]

I have a word 2003 template/form that is and needs to remain protected. I
want to have the right hand side of the header on pages 2 thru n set to
import data from the name and client ID# fields in the form into the header
upon entry of the Client ID #. I think that VBA would be my only option due
to having to unprotect and then protect the form. I also need to be certain
that unprotecting and then protecting the form does not clear all entries in
the form being filled out.
Can any one help me out, please?

VBA is not required.

In the Primary Header of the document, insert Cross Reference fields to the
Bookmarks assigned to the formfields for name and Client ID# fields and have
the Calculate on Exit set for those formfields so that the fields in the
document are updated with information that is entered into those fields.

I'm not familiar with how to insert cross reference fields in the header.
Can you give me an example of what that would look like?
