automaticly copy text to header

[Harold Anderson]

I want a my template file to automaticly copy a text item (file or case
number) into the header so that it will print on each page 2 throough the end
of the document. Anyone know how this can be done?

Copy from where?

Many ways to do it, depending upon the answer to that question. If the file
number was being entered into a userform, it could be written to a document
variable and then displayed where required in the document by the use of
DocVariable field.

See the following page of fellow MVP Greg Maxey's website :

Also check out the use of cross-references REF field and/or STYLEREF field

Hi Harold,

If you setup your document with a 'different first page' layout and use a unique Style definition for the file or case number, you
can use a STYLEREF field in the second page header to replicate the file or case number on the second and subsequent pages. No vba
required.
