[EmData] Page beginnings with flow

[Joe Mathia - Em Support]

Hi Stuart,

It sounds like you should be able to use Xdata¹s Header/Footer functionality
to do this.  On your master page, set up a text box with placeholder text
for whichever field that you want to use as a header.  Select the
placeholder text, and use the Xdata "Make Header/Footer" command to bring up
a dialog which will allow you to mark the placeholder as a header, giving
you the option to Reference Marks from the Previous Page.  In your
prototype, you would need to insert a statement setting hidden markers that
allow these header placeholders to be updated, e.g., «put category hidden
marked "A"».

See the user's manual for more complete info.

Is this what you're after?

If not, could you please send your template/prototype and some data, with
some more explanation?

Regards,

Joe Mathia
