Re: [libreoffice-users] Master Document

I'm wondering if there is a way to define a field as the first word on 
the page and the last word on the page (like in a dictionary). If that 
could be done, then the desired information could be placed in a header, 
as Dale wants to do. That would obviate the manual gymnastics that he's 
trying to do.

I just glanced through the "fields" dialogs and nothing jumped out at me.
