capture data from a form and have it in the header of all the pages

[divya]

I have a document with a form in it with three fields,suppose
NAME,AGE,DESIGNATION.
Now when user fills these 3 cellls and writes about himself below the
form,now if he needs to go to the second page the second page should
open with
an header which consists of
1.Page number
2.Name
3.Designation
filled by him in the first page
In short I want to capture the data from the form and use that in my
header part of all the subsequent pages getting added.Can anybody
suggest a way to do this?

What you have done is OK as far as it goes, but as the REF fields are in the
page header they will not update unless you force the update with a macro
run on exit from the field - use the code at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

If the REF fields are in the body of the document they will update if
calculate on exit is checked.

Hiiii
Hey thnks for the macro code u sent ,I faced the problem as u
stated and got the macro code from the link u sent me yesterday ,really
thnks for that.Now its copying to the header the updated values but I
want the font size to be changed from 16 to 11 when its copied in
header, it takes the same font size of the text field and copies as it
is .
I tried to change the fontsize in the header but it doesn't seem
to work ,it displays few charcters with font 11 and then rest in font
16. what r the steps to achieve this ???

Thanks
Divya

Now you need to add a \*charformat switch to the REF field ( {REF
Bookmarkname \*charformat} and format the field as you want it to appear.
