Hi, Thank you for your reply, the headers are already populated, however i need to fill in information for each site i visit, project id, milage etc. Friend had a go at it and the formula populated the rest of the headers on different pages, the problem was pages 2 and 8 of 11 does not require a header so there is a break so to speak.
what i need is to be able to fill out the information on the header on page one, then have the headers on pages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 missing out pages 2, 8, 10 and 11.

First, read the article on the StyleRef field. If that won't help, please read the recap posted earlier.

For someone to help you here directly, we need to know the Section number, not page number and whether the header is identified as "Header," "First-page Header," "Even Header," or "Odd Header." When you are editing a Header that will be shown in the line dividing the header from the body of the document.

The page number simply does not help much. Word really does not think in terms of pages.
