You must use VBA.

Sub CellInHeader()
With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.CenterHeader = .Range("A1").text
End With
End Sub

If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on
"getting started".

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + R to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.

I am designing an excel form. I would like to pull the "applicant name" data
from a cell and have it inserted into the header. I have looked through all
help, training, etc and cannot figure out how to do this. I bet it can be
done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much
