At the time I read the message this is a reply to, I didn't have any bright 
ideas, but today I discovered a new feature of Word that I regret I hadn't 
been using for a long time.
  
I've been in the habit of dividing documents into sections when the headers 
change.  This seemed perfectly normal and necessary.  Today, I finally 
discovered that it didn't have to be.  
  
The trick?  The "styleref" field code.
  
If I insert a header that contains the field code [styeref "Heading 1"], the 
header will change every time there is a new Heading 1, without any need to 
create a new section.  Furthermore, the updating happens automatically.  
  
So -- if the "every page" feature is a heading text, that will solve the 
problem. 
  
(The Word documentation on this feature is really lame -- I've read through 
all the field codes several times, and it never occurred to me how to use the 
styleref field code until I saw an example.)
