VBA into Header or Footer Table (and into a table in the same)

[Brendan]

Is there a way to gain access to a header or footer in Word via VBA? I have
a one page form full of tables (Page 1) and the narrative begins on Page 2.
There is a header and footer on page 2 and subsequent pages (but not on page
1). The header and footer have tables and I need to be able to bookmark the
tables somehow and copy certain data from page 1 to this header and footer.

As I see it, there are two ways to do it:

#1 Use a VBA “prompt box†(UserForm) for the data to be captured and force
the data into the header for footer as well as certain fields on Page 1.

OR

#2 Have a macro run on a Text Form Field "EXIT" which automatically COPIES
and PASTES data from Page 1 to the header & footer on Page 2


I have tried where “tblLastFirstMiddle†is the Form Text Field / Bookmark
and vLastFirstMiddle is the text box control on VBA UserForm.

ActiveDocument.FormFields("tblLastFirstMiddle").Result =
vLastFirstMiddle.Value

This works fine for Page 1 but I have yet to be able to (1) manually place a
bookmark / text form field in an already created header or footer and (2)
call that bookmark in the header or footer.

Any suggestions?
