DocProperty fields can be inserted in the header/footer. Form fields cannot,
and REF fields don't work in the header/footer of protected forms (but
StyleRef fields do, and they update automatically).

Hi,

Anyway you can use "forms" fields in the header and footer?

What I'm trying to do is to setup a template for an A size document that
resembles a CAD template. Since not everyone has CAD, and only need to
create A sized documents, we want a A-sized template.

So first of the is a Revision block at the top of the page with 6 fields
that need to be edited by every document creator. ONLY needs to be on the
first page.

Second is a title block at the bottom of the page with 9 fields to input.
A SECOND simplified title block (only revalant fields) is on all following
pages. The data in the 2 title blocks is the same.

What about using "Custom Properties" in file properties to define all the
fields. Anyway to link it to a textbox in the header/footer?

Thanks
