Fill-in field
I have created a "fill-in" field which displays a dialog box asking you to
type in your name. My question is how do I create a field in the footer that also displays my name that was entered in the dialog box created by the "fill-in" field Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks |

Fill-in field
Create a unique paragraph style for the paragraph containing the
FillIn field and then add a { STYLEREF "stylename_here" } field to the footer, or bookmark the FillIn field and insert a cross-reference to that bookmark in the footer. See also "5.

Fill-in field
Give the location that contains the field a unique style (create a character
style with no change in formatting) then use a styleref field to call this style in the footer. Such a field will update automatically. or Bookmark the fillin field and use a REF field in the footer. Note that REF fields in footers do not update automatically and so you will have to force an update using a macro - such as that at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org bmbc141 wrote: I have created a "fill-in" field which displays a dialog box asking you to type in your name.
