Word 97-2003 - Create a hyperlink

Madame Myme -  
 Madame Myme -
Hello,

I searched the forums to see if this question has been asked, but I couldn't find anything. I hope you can help me...

I'm writing a report. On the cover page, there is (among other things) a title and the date.
I need to find a way to get this title and this date to appear in the header on all the pages of the report.
I can't seem to find the way to make the link...

Thank you for your help

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Hello,

    First, if you haven't already done so, apply a style to your title and date.
    Once you've done that, go to your header, position yourself where you need to place your title and date, and go to:
    - Insert Field
    - In Category, select Links and References
    - In the right column, choose StyleRef, click on Options
    - Click on the Styles tab and click on the style of your title (for the moment)
    - Click on Add to field
    - OK (once in one window and again in the other window)

    Your title will appear in your header

    Then do the same for the date.

      Well then... :o(
      Here's what I get: "Error! Use the Home tab to apply to the text you want to appear here."

      I'm looking to see where I'm making a mistake.

    Hello,

    Press Alt + F9 to see your field.

    It should look like this:

    { STYLEREF "style name" }

    Otherwise, you can do it manually. The { } can be obtained with Ctrl+F9.

    Do it by hand as Marina tells you, you might do better. Be specific about your style name.

      When I click "add to field," my style is clearly indicated. I checked on my cover page and the style is fine.

      So, I keep maneuvering. But soon, I'm going to throw the computer out the window. Because before asking you for help, I won’t tell you how many hours I spent searching ;oD

    If you see your field codes (otherwise, go to Tools/Options/Display, check the field codes box)

    do you have this?

    { STYLEREF "cover page subtitle 2" \* MERGEFORMAT }

    there is a space between { and STYLEREF and between MERGEFORMAT }
    there is a space between " and \
    and between * and MERGEFORMAT

    You can copy the line and write the name of your style and that's it.
    Don't you think so?
