Frankly I am having a hard time imagining why when you have such an attitude
problem you feel that fellow users would be willing to continue helping you.
This is a user peer group, not Microsoft's help desk!

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?
