is this possible? - title as a cross reference
Howdy Folks,
I would like to write the title of my document on the first page of my MS Word file. I would then like that title to automatically appear in my header and where ever else I deem fit, much like a cross reference. Is this possible? Would it require a macro? Thanks in advance for any help. Sincerely, Tom Campitelli |

The StyleRef field will do just what you want. Alternatively, you can type
the title into the Title property of the document and use a { TITLE } field in the header. -- Suzanne S.

If the first word has four or more characters and ends with a colon, the field discards the text after the colon. This applies to Subject and Author fields also. The easy workaround is to use { DocProperty Title } instead. |
