REF fields in Header/Footer

[~~~AAA~~~]

How can I get REF fields in the header and footer of a protected
document to update when the data is entered into the referring form
field. I have tried to do it protected and not but the REF fields don't
update. If I take them out of the header/footer and put them in the
main area, then they update. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thank you!

The fields in the header are not seen by Word, but you can update them with
a macro run on exit from the field in question - see the code used as
example in http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Run a macro containing the following code on exit from the formfield:

ActiveDocument.PrintPreview
ActiveDocument.ClosePrintPreview

AMAZING! The print preview solution worked flawlessly, thanks so much.
The macro list was also very helpful, thank you.
