Perhaps you could explain why the particular content needs to be 'in the header position' instead of in the body of the page concerned? From what you've described, it would appear you can achieved the same visual outcome with a small top margin and a 'different first page' layout, with some additional padding content to increase the effective header size on the 2nd & subsequent pages of the Section concerned.

That's a good question as it is, in essence, a header. I do have the 'different first page' option. The only reason I don't have my text boxes in the header itself is that I need the input to be picked up in the table of contents. If I place them within the header, they aren't picked up.

I understand that, but what you haven't explained is why you can't achieve the desired outcome the way I suggested.

Ah! I see what you mean. That works. Now I just need to figure out how to add the text into that position via VBA.
