Re: Calling macro function from within a header/footer?

Ok. So is there anyway possible to access a field via VBA code in the
header and footers? I need to be able to set the field in a header/footer
on a page by page basis in the same way that conditional headers/footers
handle it, so that each page is unique, not just the section itself.
