Hi greendean,

You don't need either bookmarks or cross-references for this. Instead, if you apply a unique character Style or paragraph Style to the data (which you might solicit via a content control, you can have it appear in the header via a STYLEREF field that references the Style. See:

… and perhaps an assortment of visually identical styles so you can pull different elements of the personal data ["given name", "family name" by way of trivial example] into the header with different STYLEREF fields?

Default Links in MS Word

Thanks for the replies. I read through the Microsoft article, and I'm still not sure that will do what we need. The particular form in question has six fields that are filled in uniquely every time a new person is involved. The fields are such as Name, Position Title, Start Date, etc. Those words are hard printed on the form and followed by a text entry field for the new data. It is the information in those text fields that needs to be captured and displayed at the top of subsequent pages, but not necessarily in a header. The styleref seems to apply to static data that doesn't change on each 'new' iteration of a document. Not sure it will apply to information that is 'new' on each form. Or maybe I don't completely understand how it's supposed to function. I've attached the form so you can see what I'm referring to.
