Perhaps I am a poor workman, that's why I rely on Word's tools, but as I've said, the Help tool is not helpful. If it were, websites like this wouldn't need to exist.
By the way, what's a "running head"?

Leave the Replace box empty, and click "Replace All."
Then you can follow my instructions for inserting your handful of
section breaks (if every page needs a different running head, you
shouldn't be using running heads in the first place).
It's a poor workman who blames his tools. (There, I've probably run
out of aphorisms.)

I also have a 500-page document that will need to be worked on next.
Needless to say, that might take the rest of my life and I'm not looking
forward to it. My real issue with this is that - according to Word Help
- it shouldn't be necessary to go through these steps. Their
instructions are much simpler, but they don't work. Why would they give
advice that doesn't work? I know that hatred isn't productive, but it's
unavoidable whenever I use this program!
