From: Munch on 22 Jun 2008 12:01 I wanted to have Word pull the name of the addressee and the date of the letter on the first page of the letter and put it in the heading for the second page where you put the following: Name Date of letter Page # Is there a way to do this?
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 22 Jun 2008 13:36 If you're using a CreateDate field for the date of the letter, you can do the same in your page header. For the name, apply a character style to the name and use a StyleRef field in the header. -- Suzanne S.

See part 3 (Bookmarks) in http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm for one method. Another method is to apply a specific style (which you can create just for this purpose) to the name, and another style to the date, and use StyleRef fields in the header. These special styles can have exactly the same formatting as the rest of the address; it's just the style's name that's important. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
