Document variable with value that changes throughout the document
While looking into this for you I tried to add a DocVariable to the
header called SectionName then to set that at various points in the
document. I gave up when I saw a reference to Mail Merge in
the help file. I think that you could use this in your document
by inserting fields into the document and then having the values
to those fields in a file. Your mail merge will only have one
record with many fields. If this did not give you all you needed
then you could (possible) add the rest with some
VBA - maybe
to set up the mail mere file with the values taken from the
document. They could be from the style used or a bookmark
used - maybe a heading style or a hidden text style.
It is just an idea that may help.
