Running Cross References in Headers - Like a Dictionary
I am using MS Word 2003, SP1, and am creating an instruction book, with a
numbered outline. I would like to put into the header or footer both the title of the document (easy), and a reference to what step I am on (not easy). I know that I can use chapter numbers in the page reference of the header/footer if I insert section breaks. But this is a work in progress, and would required lots of changes to section breaks if I did that. Is there a way to put in a cross reference or some other link that will reprint into my header/footerthe first line of my outline list that appears on the page; then when page breaks change, the cross reference will automatically update. This would be just like in a dictionary, where the first and last word listed on the page appear at the top to assist in quickly finding the entry you want. |

Running Cross References in Headers - Like a Dictionary
Probably, depending on how your outline list is formatted. A StyleRef field
in the header will pick up text from the body, without you manually typing it, and change without section breaks. See the Help topic "create dictionary style headers" or this page for mo http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm On 9/12/06 8:50 AM, "Dallas64" wrote: I am using MS Word 2003, SP1, and am creating an instruction book, with a numbered outline.
