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.
