Did you try a StyleRef field? See my previous post.

Thanks Jay, but it won't work unless I convert everything in the document
to
a form. It looks as I can't have just the one field linked or Ref to the
header.

I don't think I will be able to make this ECO document 'engineer proof'.

Is this possible?

Use a REF field in the header, referring to the name of the form field
(the "bookmark" item in the form field's Properties dialog). See
