Hi,

I wrote a program that uses Word (through automation) for making letters and
directories, but I have a problem when I want to make a directory that has
some
fixed data on top (like titels etc.) : Word keeps repeating them for every
record. One option to solve it is to put the fixed data (which contains
fields also) in the header, but I'm not completely satisfied with this one,
is there a better (easier) way to do this, keeping in mind that everything
has to be transparant to the user (all the work has to be done through
automation).

thanks in advance
Xavier, CPS

In my experience, the only alternatives are to (a) put the headings in the
header or (b) add them after merging the document.
