I created a user form out of a 21 page document. The "reference
fields"
that link to the form fields are in the header, since Word does not
like
form fields to be directly in the header. Users will enter the data
on
the first page of the form and the reference fields "should"
automatically update. However, after I enter the test data, the ref
fields do not automatically populate. I have to open the
Header/Footer,
select the ref fields, then select F9. This will not be productive for
the end user.

I tried to "record a macro" that would automatically select and update
the fields. But, Word doesn't like that too much. My other
alternative is to remove the reference fields out of the header and
put
them in the main document, however, instead of having 2-3 headers to
update in the appropriate sections, I now have to have this header
(table with fields) on each page. However, before I do that, I wanted
to know if anyone had any other ideas? How can I create a macro, code
or "user-friendly" process where the ref fields will automaticlally
update in the header, or at least make it easier to update those
fields
since I can't seem to record a macro to do it for me? Thoughts???
