However, there may be another way of meeting your needs. If you have, say, a title page where all the details you want to have appear in the Header/Footer can go in one or more paragraphs with their own unique Styles applied, then you could use StyleRef fields in the Header/Footer to replicate those details. For example, you might create a 'character' Style named 'Instructor' spanning a MACROBUTTON field coded as: {MACROBUTTON NoMacro Type the Instructor Name here} and a STYLEREF field in the header coded as: {STYLEREF Instructor} The MACROBUTTON field will appear in the document as 'Type the Instructor Name here' and, as soon as the user starts typing there, will be deleted and replaced by whatever they type. Simultaneously, the header contents will update with the same data. You could have multiple such MACROBUTTON fields with their own Styles and corresponding STYLEREF field in the header or footer. There are other ways of doing the same kind of thing without MACROBUTTON fields (eg a table with various cells formatted in the relevant Styles), but I thought you might be interested in this way.
