inserting field at top of each page

[ribspreader]

In a form I created, I have a blank form for insertion of a name. I want to
bookmark that name on each new document, and have the name appear on each new
page. The form consistes of multiple areas that allows you to type in info.
The name is inserted near the beginning. Depending on the amount of info,
their can be 1,2,3,or even 4 pages per letter. How do I get the name to
automatically appear at the top of each new page word creates?

Can you put it in a header? It's under the "view" menu.

Will a header automatically go to the top of the page and then be followed by
anything else that is continued from the previous page?

You can't put a form field in the header, and REF fields don't update
properly in protected documents. Your best bet is a StyleRef field, which
*will* update automatically. Define a character style (it can be identical
to the default paragraph font--all it needs is a name) and apply it to the
form field whose contents you want to put in the header. Then put a StyleRef
field in the header that picks up that style.
