Hi,

I have about 12 sections in my document. The first part of the header is the
same for each section and has a reference field in it. The second part of the
header is different for each section, as it reference the section name. Is
there a way that the header can be automated so my users don't have to update
each section using the F9 key.

The "same as previous" option will not work in this case. It works for my
footers as the only difference is my page number.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give.

Thanks, Karen

If the section name (I presume on the first page of each section) is
formatted with a unique style, then you can use a StyleRef field in the
header to repeat that text on each page. In that case, you can use Same as
Previous throughout the document.

See the "Beyond Numbering" section of
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...rontmatter.htm for details.

Hi, Thanks for the information. I was able to get most of it to work. Now,
what if my header has two different StyleRefs. For example, I have chapters
and appendices. I have the chapters working with the StyleRef of "Heading 1",
but my appendices have a StyelRef of "Heading 7". Thanks,

If you don't already have a section break between the last chapter and the
first appendix, put one in. Then go into the header of the appendix and turn
off the Same As Previous button on the Header toolbar. Now you can put the
StyleRef for Heading 7 in the appendix header and remove the StyleRef for
Heading 1.

The article at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...rontMatter.htm explains
the procedure -- just read "main document" and "appendix" in place of
"frontmatter" and "main document", respectively; and "StyleRef field" in
place of "page number".

Hi Jay, That is what I have now based on the previous responses.

By doing it this way my users will still have to go into the header of each
section and update (via F9). Is there any other way not to have to do this?

Maybe a way to update the headers and footers when they update the rest of
the document. Currently when I want them to update the TOC, Cross references,
and the like I have them press ctrl-a and then F9.

Thanks,
