Default How do place a usable footer in a Word form?

Okay...I think I am getting this whole idea...I appologize Jay...I think you
and Suzanne both mentioned this UserForm. I guess I am not as swift with Word
as I once thought...back to school with me!! I think the UserForm with the
AutoNew Macro will be a perfect solution...just going to take a little work
to create it...but once I have it down...I suspect it will work for all of
these types of issues. We work off a TON of templates...this is going to
really change the way we process things here! Thanks a bunch!!

Also, the document properties can't be edited while the document is
protected for forms, as I recall.

However, a UserForm triggered by an AutoNew macro would be good for
gathering the info, unprotecting the document, updating the document
properties, updating the fields, and then reprotecting the form.

Is this information appears somewhere in the form, use a StyleRef field to
pick it up; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm. Page X of
Y
should be easy enough to put in the footer without such assistance.

If the name, title, etc., doesn't appear in the form, perhaps you could
create document properties and use DocProperty fields? This will require
extra effort for updating, however.

I am trying to create a form in Word for my co-workers. At the end of
each
page needs to be their name, title, distribution, and of course Page # of

#.
Usually this would just be an easy footer, unfortunately, I can't put
form
fields in a footer. How do I get this table with this information to

repeat
on every page and still allow the guys to fill it in? Is it even

possible!?
