Float repeating object top of each page?
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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "That70sHeidi" wrote: 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? |

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. -- Suzanne S.

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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

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

Well, I tested switching to Print Preview, and it does work (at least with
Word 2007). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... My understanding is that even switching to Print Preview doesn't do it. -- Suzanne S.

For what it's worth, I just tested in Word 2003, and updating by switching
to Print Preview works there too. However, the document isn't being flagged as modified, so you can't save the update. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
