Repeating Text Box on page
Hopefully the last question on these templates...
I am trying to add a repeating text box to the word template I am creating. I need to be able to have the company logo in the bottom LH corner of the page - easily done, by placing it in the footer. I also need to have a text box in the bottom RH corner that contains the current chapter name in it. A bit like in a dictionary / Yellow Pages. Unless it's the only solution, I don't think that the users for this template will be well enough trained to use Section Breaks for each chapter, therefore using a text box in the footer, containing a field code doesn't look like the solution. The problem with having a text box in the right position outside the footer, is that it doesn't repeat on every page. But the user can easily edit the contents. Having a text box inside the footer means that every page has the same text. Any other solutions? |

StyleRef, assuming you can get them to use the required style(s). See

Repeating Text Box on page
Thanks Suzanne
Whilst useful, I think that the StyleRef doesn't hit the main problem. What I need is how to get a text box generated on each new page. Do I need a "New Page" macro, copying the last pages textbox to do this? If so how do I reference the _last_ text box? "Suzanne S.

Repeating Text Box on page
Put your text box in the document footer - put your styleref field in the
text box - change the text box to a frame - close the footer. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dan Kelly wrote: Thanks Suzanne Whilst useful, I think that the StyleRef doesn't hit the main problem.

Repeating Text Box on page
I was wondering if a StyleRef in a text box would work and almost suggested
a frame. This should work provided a StyleRef will do what Dan needs. -- Suzanne S.

I think you aren't appreciating what a StyleRef field can do for you. In
addition to the suggestions Graham offered, see my article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm -- Suzanne S.

Repeating Text Box on page
If you leave the text box as a text box the field will never update. The
frame, as you are aware, does not have this limitation. Like you, I don't see any other way to achieve this level of automation. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
