Default How do I allow editing in a header in a protected form/documen

They do for me, but Print Preview is required to update them.

REF fields don't work in the header of a protected document. That's why
you
need to use StyleRef instead. See

You may need to use PrintPreview to get the cross-reference to update.

I was soooo excited about your solution I tried it first. I must be doing
something wrong as it is not populating on exit. Will plug on though.
Thanks
for trying!

If by any chance the information that would be entered into the header
was
also being entered into a form field in the first section, you could
use
a
cross reference field in the header to the text of the bookmark
assigned
to
that form field and check the Calculate on Exit box for that formfield.

I'd like the users to be able to type information into the header on
the
second page (such that the header ibnfo carrries forward). The page 2
header
is in its very own section already. Each time I apply protection to
the
document (and exclude that section from protection) the header
remnains
locked. I'm making an inspection form where the info on page one is
formatted
differently from the info on the supplimental pages. Is there another
way
to
do this if I cannot allow protected header entering?
