inserting text into footers
I would like to create a running footer that automatically grabs text from
the first page of a report (e.g. the report title). Is it possible to do this in Word? |

This is the function of the Footer (and Header) in Word, yes.
Most people have problems with stopping this from happeining when they want to change the Footer/Header content mid-way through a document. If you do not see the Header/Footer in your document and hence cannot enter text, click on View, Header and Footers and these areas should now be available to you for editing.

Forgot to say, if you want Word to automatically capture text and repeat this
in the Header/Footer, See http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm "DeanH" wrote: This is the function of the Footer (and Header) in Word, yes.

Glyn,
I put the title of the document into the documents properties, then in the footer I would insert a fields based on the document properties and select Title. Field/Document Properties/summary tab - enter the title then at the insertion point Insert/Field - scroll down and click DocProperty - in the property list select Title then click ok.

A StyleRef field will do what you want. See
