being fancy with footers

[aletheapyre]

Is there any way to keep the 1st and 2nd-end footers the same while seperating the 1st page header?

Also, the document itself is a Form template. Is there any way I can put a text field into the footer so my people can update it without unprotecting the document and messing everything up? (not that I'm bitter)

On a related note, is there any way I can cross-reference a text field in a document itself that will update automatically into the footer? I have put cross-references in in footers before, but I always have to rightclick them and select "update field", instead of them doing it automatically.

Thank you.
