Look in the help topic about the StyleRef field. You don't need any
scripting. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

how can i insert chapter title automatically into header
Are you using a particular style for your chapter headings? If so, you
can use a STYLEREF field to display the "current" text in that style in your headers. Here's how to do it: On the View menu, click Header and Footer. With the cursor in the header area, press Ctrl+F9. Word inserts field delimiters, {}. Within these, type STYLEREF "stylename_here". For example, if you are using Heading 1 as the style for chapter text, you would type STYLEREF "Heading 1". (Actually, since the built-in headings have "magical" properties, you can use STYLEREF 1 instead.) Press F9 to update the display. If your headings are outline-numbered, and you want to display the number too, you'd have to insert another STYLEREF field like this: { STYLEREF "stylename" \n }. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rekha" wrote in message ...

Awesome! Thank you, Stefan for the SYTLEREF solution. Using {STYLEREF 1} Worked perfectly!

You are welcome.
Note that there was a bug with STYLEREF in the initial version of Word 2013, but it should be fixed if you have installed Service Pack 1. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ... Awesome! Thank you, Stefan for the SYTLEREF solution. Using {STYLEREF 1} Worked perfectly! |
