Format text in footer
Hi:
im trying to format text in the footer, so that when the user adds a name in one filed of the document, it pops up in the footer. However, word does not allow me to add a text field in the footer. How do i go about changing that? |

You can put a cross-reference in the footer to a field that is located
elsewhere in the document. See: http://www.officearticles.com/word/c...oft_word .htm ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Madiha" wrote in message ...

It sounds as if you're using form fields; REF fields in the header do not
work in protected documents, but see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm -- Suzanne S.

I am puzzled here. I have used a REF field (bookmark text) inside a header
and the Ref field was updated once I did a PrintPreview or Print operation. "Suzanne S.

It does, but StyleRef works immediately. Nothing needs to be done to change
the result text other than to change the source text. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

This is true for ordinary documents, but it does not work in protected
documents. -- Suzanne S.
