Well, that's good, I guess. May be one of those Word 2007-only things,
though.

Well, I tested switching to Print Preview, and it does work (at least with
Word 2007).

My understanding is that even switching to Print Preview doesn't do it.

Thank you for clarifying this, which I hadn't noticed before.

With REF fields, you would have to force an update, for example by
switching to Print Preview (not even "Calculate on exit" helps). :-(

I guess STYLEREF field(s) is the way to go.

REF fields in the header/footer of a protected form are not updated
automatically, and a macro is required to update them manually.
StyleRef
fields, if appropriate, do update automatically.

Select the "Different first page" option (in the Page Setup dialog
box),
bookmark the table on the first page, and then insert the REF field in
the
main header.

I have a form that will be locked, and in order to have information
repeated
on every page (i.e., in a header, but still a fillable form, so not
"in"
the
header but below the header) I have a table.

What I need is to be able to float this table (with updating form
fields
from the first page) at the top of every page, regardless of content.
I
have
the first page's table bookmarked, and the second page is Ref'd, so I
know
this will work for filling in the forms, but repeating the table is a
problem.

I can't manually put my bookmark ref in on every page, because the
first
page's contents might bump my non-heading header to the middle of the
page. I
also don't know if there will be 2 pages or 200 pages that need this
header.

While the people using the form are very bright, they are not exactly
great
with Word, so using the DocProperties, Style Refs, macros, updating,
etc. is
going to be out of the question. Isn't there some way to lock and
repeat
a
table or a bookmark reference throughout a document?
