Select the cell into which the user will enter the information and from the
Insert menu, select Bookmark and enter a name for the bookmark. Then in the
footer, insert a cross reference to the text of the bookmark.

I want the user to enter information into a field of a table in the header
and have the footer repeat what that table in the header says. How do I
do
this?

here is an example of what I want to accomplish:

Page 1
---------------------------------------------------------
Header |Age: 18 |
-----------|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Footer 18 |
---------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, if the user inputs 18 into the header, the page will then
automatically display 18 in the footer.

I think I need to set up a defined field in WORD, but I don't know how. I
hope that makes sense.

Thanks,
