I wanted to have Word pull the name of the addressee and the date of the
letter on the first page of the letter and put it in the heading for the
second page where you put the following:
Name
Date of letter
Page #

Is there a way to do this?

If you're using a CreateDate field for the date of the letter, you can do
the same in your page header. For the name, apply a character style to the
name and use a StyleRef field in the header.

See part 3 (Bookmarks) in http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm for one
method.

Another method is to apply a specific style (which you can create just for this
purpose) to the name, and another style to the date, and use StyleRef fields in
the header. These special styles can have exactly the same formatting as the
rest of the address; it's just the style's name that's important.

Thank you Suzanne. Once I figured out how to apply a character style, it
worked. Thank you again,
Paul
