Copy text line from first page into different page headers
Hi all,
I'd like to copy my version number from the first page on the document automatically into a certain field in my headers on all the following pages. I did however split up (with page breakes) almost every page and changed each section header. So I got about 65 different headers which should contain the same version info that's on the first page. Doesn't sound difficult but the standard Word help just won't understand the questions I tried (about a gazillion right now)... Can any one help? |

Copy text line from first page into different page headers
Define a unique style and apply it to the version number (and _only_
to the version number). Then edit each header to insert a STYLEREF field that references that unique style. Whenever the version number is changed, all the STYLEREF fields will reflect the change. Although http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/S....htm#FormField talks about applying the style to a form field, it works just as well when the style is applied to ordinary text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
