Hi Doug,

I looked up style ref and it said this

By using the STYLEREF field in a header, you can display and print at the
top of each page the first and last items that appear on that page.

I'm not sure how I could use this, as I don't want to include the first and
last items on the page into the header & footer. I want instead to have one
phrase in the footer (or header), which is the unit title, and then a page
number which will run through several other documents as well.

I have looked at the idea of master and sub documents, but am not sure how
this would work.

Can you please elaborate on why you suggested using {STYLEREF}?

Thanks very much

I am using word to create a whole lot of 'units' of work, each of which is
kind of like a chapter. Then a combination of these units can be combined
into one book.

The problem is that I want the footer to include the name of the unit BUT
I
also want to have consecutive page numbers throughout the book (including
a
working contents page on the front of each unit).

So each footer must have info specific to that unit, AND generalised to
the
whole book.

I would like this process (if it is even possible) to be as automated as
possible. I don't want to have to go into every unit and change the
footers.

Any ideas would be very welcome.

Also, when the units are combined into a book the book is PDF'd, if this
helps.

Thanks
