If the number in the header has a unique style applied you can
reference it in the body of the document with a StyleRef field.

If you need something fancier, try performing a search at

Ok thanks. This is a referenced field not a copy and paste so
sounds as if
it is not possible.
I need to copy text and fields as the field contains a security
marker used
by the header to set the page security level.

If you are copying and pasting in Word format, that is, not as
unformatted text, field codes should be included. However, you may
have to update the field to see its current value.

To update a field, select it and press F9. To update all fields at
once, press Ctrl+A to select the entire document and then press
F9.

Note that if you are duplicating information via a cross-reference
or
a manually inserted REF field, the value of any fields included in
the
bookmark will be displayed, not the actual field. Usually, this is
also what you want. If you want a "live" field, you'll have to
either
insert it again or insert a copy of it (as described above).

I need to be able to copy a block of text from one portion to
another in a
document automatically along with any associated field codes. I
am
currently doing this via a bookmark except the copied text does
not
include
the underlying filed codes, just the pure text. Is there another
way to
reference text in a document and have it copied to another
location
in full,
text and fields?
