Header Kind of

[Naomi]

I have a document that is a protected template, of which I MUST have a header
type item that I can put a patients name, record # and medical info. I can't
use the built in header as the document is locked down as a template. I've
tried using a table but as it is only one line it doesn't work. I need it to
update across all 8 - 14 pages (or more) once it's done. I can't have
everyone going into the document to put the info in for fear of it getting
messed up. Once it's done everyone in a region will use it!

If the information is entered anywhere in the form, you can use a StyleRef
field to repeat it in the header. See

Suzanne, that's a great idea accept I don't have anything in my header as
it's locked down! Is there a way to still make this work?

Ok, I've tried several times to create a style but I keep getting this
response when I try to get the info into the header (Error! No text of
specified style in document). ARGGGG.

Have you applied the style to the form field where the data will be entered?

Yes, I've applied the style to the field and still nothing. I just keeps
giving me the error. I must be missing a step some place.

Send me a sample of the problem document, and I'll take a look. Be sure to
include a description of the problem in your cover email.
