How to put form fields in a header or footer

Question

Hi everyone,A client wants me to make a contract into a fillable form. Two of the form fields are Project Number and Contract Number.Once the user fills in those two fields, the client would like the project number and contract number to appear in the header of every page. Two questions:I don't see a way to put form fields in the header. Does anyone know of a way to do that? Just wondering if I missed it.If it's not possible (as I suspect), does anyone know of a way to make content repeat on every page? For example, can I create a field and set it to repeat at the top of every page?Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!Kathryn

Well, in the true spirit of Murphy's Law, I think I found a way to do this after I posted 🙂

Apparently I can duplicate the original field (e.g., Project number) across pages and even have it display the user's input from the original field. I just need to drag the duplicated field to the proper position in the header. Of course it won't really be in the header, but it will look like it is and the user won't know the difference.
