Repeating Information on Multiple Pages

I have a document I created in Livecycle and I need certain text feilds to repeat on the tops of each new page it flows over into. How do I make some kind of header that will maintain what the user enters on page 1 as it spills over into multiple pages?

My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows

Hi NOL13601,

You can have a block of header/footer information show on every page dynamically as the number of pages grows, or as you say spills over due to a user adding more information than fits on a particular page. This is one of the advantages of using LiveCycle forms.
There is an e-seminar here at AUC that shows how to do this and more that should help you out. On the Home page under e-Seminars On-Demand it is the one from March 12 called "Using LiveCycle Designer."

Hope this helps,

Dimitri

I need to know how to make a text feild that a user fills in on page one, repeat the text they entered on all subsequent pages if the form flows onto more than the first page. I know how to put info on the master page and have it occur on each page, but how do you make a feild repeat the data that gets entered into it on each page automatically?

Create at least 2 two text fields with the same name and set their binding to global.

Add two text fields where? On the body page subform and on the master page?

If you check the photo I posted on my site you will see what you need to do. You create a text field on your form and call the field whatever you want. In my case I called it ClientsName. Now when I go to each page where I have that same text field I make sure the field name is also ClientsName. Once I'm done, I go back to the first page choose the client's name field change the default binding message to global, you'll get a pop-up, say ok and that's it.

Thank you. The difference is, my form is 1 page...however, depending on how much information would be added it could be pushed over to a second page and then the 2nd field would be needed. You know that yours is multiple pages.
