If you leave the text box as a text box the field will never update. The
frame, as you are aware, does not have this limitation. Like you, I don't
see any other way to achieve this level of automation.

I was wondering if a StyleRef in a text box would work and almost
suggested a frame. This should work provided a StyleRef will do what
Dan needs.

Put your text box in the document footer - put your styleref field
in the text box - change the text box to a frame - close the footer.

Thanks Suzanne
Whilst useful, I think that the StyleRef doesn't hit the main
problem.
What I need is how to get a text box generated on each new page.
Do I need a "New Page" macro, copying the last pages textbox to do
this?
If so how do I reference the _last_ text box?

StyleRef, assuming you can get them to use the required style(s).

Hopefully the last question on these templates...
I am trying to add a repeating text box to the word template I am
creating.
I need to be able to have the company logo in the bottom LH corner
of the page - easily done, by placing it in the footer.
I also need to have a text box in the bottom RH corner that
contains the current chapter name in it. A bit like in a
dictionary / Yellow Pages.
Unless it's the only solution, I don't think that the users for
this template will be well enough trained to use Section Breaks
for each chapter, therefore using a text box in the footer,
containing a field code doesn't look like the solution.
The problem with having a text box in the right position outside
the footer, is that it doesn't repeat on every page. But the user
can easily edit the contents. Having a text box inside the footer
means that every page has the same text.
Any other solutions?
