Headings, STYLEREF and Headers
Word 97. OK, I am really struggling to get a doc formatted correctly.
The header is creating the major problems. I have the document sectioned using heading styles (not section breaks). Too many section breaks tend create instability in doc. Heading 1 = chapter Heading 2 = topic within chapter I am using the styleref in the header to pull from headings. Both headings I want to display in header Prob 1: Heading 1 will be the only text on the page (i.e. Section 1 - Awareness) and I would like to leave it out of the header on that page. Prob 2: Heading 2 is not on the Heading 1 page so the STYLEREF picks up the Heading 2 item from the previous page. And even if I could get it to pick up from the next page I still would like to leave it out of the header on the Heading 1 page. Prob 3: I would like to not have the Heading 2 info displayed in the header on the same page - resulting in the text being repeated on the same page -or- Some how hide the heading 2 text so it will not display the text itself but be picked up in the header STYLEREF. Hidden text in not picked up by STYLEREF and white text displays as white in the TOC |

Headings, STYLEREF and Headers
You need section breaks. Don't worry about instability; I've created many a
book with dozens of sections and never had a problem. StyleRef is good as far as it goes (and you can definitely do some cool things with it; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm), but you also need the flexibility of having three headers/footers per section (see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Susanne, I have toyed the ideas of sections, the advantages are
obvious. In the past I have been advised to eliminate section breaks to stabilize a document. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. BTW your article is quite interesting and useful. |
