capture data from a form and print 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 goes to the second page the second page should open with
an header which consists of
1.Page number
2.Name
3.Designation

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?

Go to View --> Header and footer. Then Insert --> Field. In the Field
name-list, select Ref. and select the appropriate bookmarks in the
list to the right.

Do the proper adjustments if you don't want the header on page 1.

Hi Fredrik
I tried working using the way u said by adding REE BookMarks into the
header,But the problem with ref what am facing is:

1.First time I enter the data in form it takes these values and on the
pages header shows these values as needed.

2.But when I again overite or make changes to previous data enterd it
shows me in the header not the modified values but the same prev old
values.

3.Now I save & close this document .

4.When I Reopen and fill the form,now the header shows me the values
same old values.

Its only taking the values when it was first executed.

Plz help me out ,I need to finishi the assingnemnt today.

The field won't update automatically, but if you go into Print Preview you
should find the field updates, even in a protected form.

Another solution is to use a StyleRef field instead of a Ref field as
explained in section "Repeating form field data in a header/footer" of

http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm

Or you can use a macro to update - see here for instance:

HI
THE FONTSIZE OF THE TEXT FIELD WHOSE BOOKMARK IS TXTNAME IN THE
FORM IS 16 ,I USED ITS REF IN THE HEADER AND A MACRO WHICH UPDATES
WHENEVR ANY CHANGE IS MADE.
IN THE HEADER I WANT THAT THE FONTSIZE SHOULD BE SMALL OF 11 ,I TRIED
CHANGING THE FONTSIZE IN THE HEADER TO 11 BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS
HAPPENS:-
1.SUPPOSE i ENTERED abc def ghi (FONT 16) IN THE TXTNAME TEXTBOX
2.ITS REF WHICH IS IN HEADER IS COPIED BUT NOW abc IS OF SIZE 11 AND
REST def ghi IS OF FONTSIZE 16.
TELL ME WHAT DO i DO to make abc def ghi ALL OF SIZE 16.

Please don't SHOUT. Is the font size applied as direct formatting or part of
the style? If the style for the form field specifies 16-point and the style
of the header specifies 11, both should be correct.
