Default Cross Reference to Content Control

Hi all,

I am creating a document in word 2010 with a userform to populate many text content controls (which is working fine). I am trying to create a cross-reference to one of my text content controls and place the information in the footer.

I have used assigned a bookmark (including a space before and after the content control) then inserted a cross-reference usung Insert > Cross-reference and navigating to the bookmark. When I do this and update the information with the userform, the reference updates but not the original text content control.

I have also used a styleref and that works but when i update the document using the userform, the styleref does not automatically update.

Does anyone know what the best way to handle this is? I am not sure why the first one does not work..... it's beyond me but it doesn't.

The only other substitute I can think of is have another content control and pass the information in the userform to two places......

Anyway, thanks for any guidance out there.

Brent
