I've tried to create a form with a header including a form field and it won't
allow me to do it. Even if I take the form field off the header, once the
form is ready to populate, the header can't be accessed. What I'm trying to
do is have a client's demographic info appear in the header of a clinical
note so that it would appear on all pages of the document. Is there another
way of doing this? If not, can we populate a field in one spot on the
document and have it automatically copy to another area of the document?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You will have to locate the formfield in the body of the document and you
can then use a cross reference to the text of the bookmark assigned to the
formfield so that the data entered into it appears in the header. You may
need to run a macro containing the code

With ActiveDocument
.PrintPreview
.ClosePrintPreview
End With

on exit from the formfield so that the cross reference in the header is
updated to show the text.
