In creating a multi-page form there is information such as a drawing
number or name that I would like to have appear on the other pages
once it is typed on the first page.  How do I do this?

What version of Word?
What OS version?
Do you have the SDK available?

Do you happen to have an MSDN Universal subscription?

would you want instructions on how to create a linked or embedded object?

I don't know enough details to know if that would be a useful option
in your particular situation but it might be all you need.

Chag,

Are you looking to be able to put your drawing number or name into a
page header or footer that would then automatically appear at the top
or bottom of each page of your document?

If so, please let us know. You won't need an SDK or an MSDN
subscription to accomplish this.

Clarification:  You are all correct in that I did not provide
sufficient data.  These forms will be developed using Window NT and
Office 2000, using Word, and running on a local and secure network. 
The use of headers and footers is not an option.  I beleive the use of
linked or embedded object is the direction only I have not figgured
out how to do these.
...I hope this helps...Chag

Pay me and I'll do it for ya

Since both the client and AMD599 are new to google answers I should
probably point out that only researchers are qualified to give actual
answers and can get paid here.

Everyone if free to comment if they have useful information to share.

You probably won't need MSDN or the SDK anyway but if you have them
there might be a different solution depending on what you want to do
with the form, whether it is on a local network or if you are selling
it.

It sounds like you want the data entered on one page to appear right
in the form on other pages but how you do that may depend on various
things, I doubt you could do it with headder/footer.

Bookmark it where it occurs, and use a REF field specifying the
bookmark where you want the text to appear.

Try to use the document's properties to setup a document variable to
store your text. Then insert the variable as you needed.

1) To define the document variable, at the tool bar select
File->Properties
then at the custom tab Name: field create our own name say "Test1"
Select type: Text
at value input box type your text: "ABC-123"
then press the [Add] button
You should see at the properties box you should see your new variable
close the window by press the [ok] button

2) to use the variable any where at your document at the tool bar select

Insert->Field

the Field window opens, the categories box select all, at the field
name selection box pick DocProperty, at the Property selction box pick
the variable you've created, in this case,pick Test1 and hit the [ok]
button.

You should see the variable Test1 content inserted in your document.
You can repeat this everytime you need the same text.

3) Change variable content use the tool bar File->Properties, pick the
variable and change the content of value box updates the variable,
then update the docuemnt with the F9 Key.

Hope this is what you needed.

Sample for all:

To create this multi-page form - are you using the MultiPage tab control?

If so, and you are capturing info on a given page (say page 1) that
you want todisplay on page 2, then one way would be to update the
otehr controls in the _Change event of whichever control you're using
to capture this information.

So, e.g., say you have three pages: Page1, Page2 and Page3, each with
a textbox: UserText1, UserText2 and UserText3. When you update any of
the UserText textboxes, you want ALL of them to show the same text.

You could then simply go:

Private Sub UserText1_Change()
    UserText2 = UserText1
    UserText3 = UserText1
End Sub

Private Sub UserText2_Change()
    UserText1 = UserText2
    UserText3 = UserText2
End Sub

Private Sub UserText3_Change()
    UserText1 = UserText3
    UserText2 = UserText3
End Sub

...and so on. There are many, far more graceful ways of doing it, but
this illustrates the _Change event and the basics, I hope. Hope this
helps!
