I am trying to create a template to be used to document incidents. I need to
have information such as the date, time, location, person who took the
reoprt... etc. on the top of each page of the report. I will also need a
seperate narritive section possabily set off with a border. Ultimately I
would like to only have to enter the header info once. I tried placing form
fields in the header and desiging around that, but that doesn't work. I
researched Userforms by briefly reading the tips on:
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/...ormContent.htm) and wonder
if Bookmarks in the header is the direction I need to head in. Since others
would be using this template too I may also want to add dialoge boxes to help
them use the form. Is this the way to go or do I need to head in another
direction?

I have many more questions, but I'll try to tackle the big ugly ones first.

Helpfull feedback is very much appreciatated,

Put your form fields in the body on the first page. Encase the fields in
bookmarks. Use cross-reference fields in the header to replicate the
bookmarks information to the other pages.
