How do I let hidden text serve as a StyleRef but stay invisible?
Hello.
I am trying to use StyleRef to display 3 different levels of style headings I have. I am displaying the Chapter name and Part I, II, III (etc) in the header using StyleRef and Headings 1 and 2. Pertinent to this question, I am displaying the subsection name in the footer with StyleRef using Heading 3. My problem is that some areas of my long document do not have a section name or there is no "part I" because there's no "part II" (and so it would be silly to have "Part I" when it is the only part!). I tried putting in subsection names and marking them as heading 3, then hiding them with Font-Hidden Text, so I could still have something displayed in my footer but not have to enter redundant subsection names and part names. But when I hid the text, the StyleRef field turned up blank. This might actually be fine, but I want to know if there's some other way to get StyleRef to show what I describe above. Thanks! |

Unfortunately, Hidden is the only font formatting that a StyleRef field
*does* pick up. You can format the text as Font Color: White and very small (1 point), and StyleRef will pick it up and display it normally. -- Suzanne S.
