Is there a way to add a bookmarked text section from the main document to
header or footers? So that if the Text in the body of the document changes,
this is auto populated into the header or footer?


Would this be better done in VBA or is there a straightforward way of doing
it without adding code to the template?

forgot to mention this is in Word 2003.

A StyleRef field is often a better approach since cross-references don't
always update automatically (though they should in the header/footer); see
