Often the Ref field does not work that well in the header of a protected
form, but the StyleRef field will.

Hi Carol,
I found what you wrote about, but I need to take a step back because I
don't
know how to actually insert the cross-reference in the document header
when
the form text field is still blank (i.e. no one has actually completed
the
form - the text field is blank.)
Is there a way to reference a blank text form field in a form so that I
can
refer to it when I cross-reference it?
When I click Insert/Reference/Cross-reference/ and it displays a daughter
window, I then select "Heading" in the "Reference Type" box and "Heading
Text" in the "Insert Reference To" box. In the big box below, nothing
appears so the heading does not appear, and the "Insert" button below the
big
box is grayed out.
Ah, right. Set the cross-reference to the form field name. That's actually
a
bookmark and should be in the list, even if there's no text in the form
field.
