Continuation form- Word 2003
Good morning all, I want to create a form that has data at the top (name,
date etc.), data at the bottom (sig blocks with dates etc.), and rows in the middle for multiple entries (1 entry per row). Here's the question: How do I create the form, so that when the user puts in more row items than 1 page can allow, the form will automatically create a continuation sheet with the top and bottom data from page 1 on the continuation sheet? Thanks for any help. Jim. -- Jim Hull Technical Writer |

Jim:
It sounds like you should look into Headers and Footers. These can hold the top and bottom information you want, and will appear on every page of the document. In general, you only have to enter the information once, and it appears the same on every page.

Continuation form- Word 2003
Thanks for the suggestion Bear, but because this is a user form, ISO
requirements mean that it has to be a template that is non-editable (except for the intended fields) by the user. In a protected template, the user cannot edit the header/footer to fill in the fields that I design. Any other ideas? Macro maybe? -- Jim Hull Technical Writer "Bear" wrote: Jim: It sounds like you should look into Headers and Footers.

Make the first page header and footer blank and position your control blocks where you will. Replicate the blocks inside the second and subsequent page header and footer and populate them using REF fields that point at the bookmarks for the formfields on the first page.

REF fields in header/footer don't update automatically in protected
documents, and F9 is unavailable. Short of a macro, StyleRef fields are the simplest solution; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm. -- Suzanne S.
