Default Can I fill in header from text in body?

In an ordinary document you could use a REF field, but REF fields don't
update automatically in the header of protected forms, and a macro is
required to update them manually. A StyleRef field, however, works just
great; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm.

I am trying to create a form that would allow a part number to be entered

in
the body of the form and would automatically fill in that part number in

the
header of that form. I am using Word, 2003.

Is this possible?
