I have a hard time understanding why I have to explain the merits and
rationale concerning this project instead of getting my question answered in
a direct way.
Do a Google search on this subject and see how many hundreds of others are
lamenting this same problem without getting any answers from all the way back
to Word 97.
I find it somewhat offensive for all of the suggestions to offer nothing but
criticism for the way this particular project is to be laid out. It's not
as though I bought a soccer ball and I am complaining that it doesn't perform
like a football. It seems to make sense to me that automated tasks in any
software should have an override.
To answer your question as to why I would want to use headers at all
concerns the table of contents.
What you're doing is something different, but if each selection is only one
page long, then there's not much point in having this information in the
header at all. Why not just make the top margin smaller and put the title
and author in the document body at the top of the page?

No, this brings me back to my original question and problem.
You are trying to get me to rearrange my project to fit the limitations of
the software. There is no title and author name in the body of the
document
to reference which is why it needs to be in the headers and footers. A
simple header override would be really great and a sensible thing to have
I
would think instead of making a person format the document the way the
programmers want you to so he can show off all their ornaments.

It is easy then. Each title needs to use the Title style (or at least a
style different to any other style used in the document). Then in the
Header, you insert the StyleRef referring to the Title Style. StyleRef
will
automatically select the nearest Title Style on that page.
I am going to assume that the authors name is somewhere in their work too
(if it isn't, then make them add it). Again, if the Author uses its own
style, you can simply use the StyleRef to pick up the Author Style.
This method means that you only need one section with one running header
throughout the document.

Currently, our solution is to print every two pages to a PDF and then
amend
each page, so I'm not too concerned with "all that work" involved. A
simple
header override would be a relief at this point!
What I need is a document with a different header on every page. The
header
would contain title of each work and author name. There are 185
different
works and most are only 1-2 pages in length.

Well you need to use a Section Break, Next Page inserted at the end of
every
page, but you'll end up with hell of a complex document with many,
many
sections and many, many different Headers. Think of all that work
having
to
type a new Header for every page.
Please tell us what you need to put in every header that is different
because there are many ways to automate the Header to change with the
page
contents without the need for separate sections.

I have a document that I need different headers for each page.
I have been trying to use section breaks (next page) but it inserts
a
new
blank page into the document and doesn't apply it to the ACTUAL next
page
I
need the section break at.
Do I have to start from scratch or is there a way to insert a
section
break
into a document so I can unlink the Link To Previous option so I can
have
a
unique header on each page?
