Default Repeating Text Box on page

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.

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?

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?
