Linked contents diff. headers
Hi all
Don't know if this is the right group to place my question, but here goes I have a Template with different first page header. The first page header contains a table with some information. The second page header has the same information as the first page header, but not all the table cells are shown on the second page header. To update the headers we have to manually update both headers with the same information. I would like it to possible only to update the information in the first page header, and make word update the information in the second page header. I can do this if I select a text in a cell and create a bookmark around it, and then create a CustomDocumentProperty (CDP) that are linked to the bookmark. Then I can insert a DocProperty field in the second page header. But the problem is that the bookmark sometimes are deleted while editing the text. If I make a bookmark of an hole cell and created the linked CDP, then the CDP value is like this "..Flemming....", and this value will of cause be shown in the second page header. I have also tryed with DocVariable, but since a field can not be linked to DocVariable, then the user can not change the DocVariable without using VBA. So how I make Word update information in the second page header when information is changed in the first page header ? Thanks alot Flemming |

I would use a userform to get the input from the user and use it to create
document variables and have the relevant docvariable fields in the headers so that the information entered by the user into the userform is displayed. See the article "How to create a Userform" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm -- Hope this helps.

Hi Doug
Yes, I know but after the document has been created the user needs to edit ie. document version number, that is located in both headers, and no userform/macro must follow normal documents. I have also tried to move the first page header away from the header and into the top of the page, and inserted form-fields, section break and protected section 1 for form-fill only. The user can the fill the top and write in the second section, but when I insert pictures in section 2, then I can not manipulate the picture. Any other ideas ?
