The includetext statement is in the footer of the documents. Then the
standard footer is bookmarked in a separate document that contains all are
includetext statements that are brought into different documents.
I am starting to question whether we really want to go down the route of
includetext for document footers if it's going to cause aggravation as
they
aren't as likely to change as the letter format for example. I agree -
they
probably won't change that often and if they do then we could run a find
and
replace macro through the docs.

So the IncludeText field is in the footer itself? Did you try
specifically
updating that field?
Do your document footers really change frequently?

We have brought our document footers in using a standard piece of
includetext. I used the normal page number code but I found that on a
3 page
document, it repeated '3' as the page number on all 3 pages.
This bookmark in the includetext document was on the first page, so not
sure
why it put page 3 on the merged document unless it was doing a count of
the
pages rather than taking the page number - not sure how this could have
happened though when I used the normal { PAGE } code.
Any ideas if there's a problem with bring page numbers in through
includetext?
