Word 2007. I usually create documents of a few pages in length. I type the
name for the document on the first page. Is there a way to have Word
automatically insert this name into the headers on subsequent pages (without
using a macro)?

[Stefan Blom]

One way is to use the TITLE field in the Document Properties (Office button
| Prepare | Properties). Typ the title, and then click the close button.

Then insert the field at the appropriate locations in your text (on the
first page, and in the header).

To insert a TITLE field: On the Insert tab, click Quick Parts, and then
click Field. Select "Title" in the list, and click OK.

Thanks for the reply. Your method works. But is it possible to use field that I can type the text I want and then use the field in the header? Can't you create fields in Word that are place holders and use them throughout the document?

[Stefan Blom]

Sure you can. There are several different methods. In Word 2007, you'll find
content controls to be the most flexible way (but note that this feature
isn't backward compatible). See this article:

Another way is a StyleRef field. If you use the Title style for your title,
then you can put a {StyleRef Title} field in the Header (this assumes that
you have "Different first page" enabled and will leave the First Page Header
empty). For more on the StyleRef field, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm

FWIW, Greg's article includes a link to yours (on the STYLEREF field).

I didn't see a reference to Greg's article in this post? In any case, I
believe the reference to my article in Greg's is pretty far along and fairly
casual. g
