Troublesome Styleref fields in headings
Headings in a 2-columns document includes {StyleRef DefinedField} and
{StyleRef DefinedField \l}. Sometimes this fields appear empty existing styled words in the document. Sometimes both fields appears as right justified. I must writte invisible (white) some styled words are in order to show it in heading. What I'm doing wrong? Thanks. Alejandro Fernandez |

Troublesome Styleref fields in headings

... Headings in a 2-columns document includes {StyleRef DefinedField} and {StyleRef DefinedField \l}. I suppose you are referring to *headers* (the space at the top of each page intended for repeating contents on every page)? Sometimes this fields appear empty existing styled words in the document. Are you using blank paragraphs to create spacing in your document? Then you could occassionally get an empty field, because it tries to reference a paragraph with no text in it. The fix is to remove the blank paragraph and add Spacing Before and/or After as required (this formatting is found on the Indents and Spacing tab of FormatParagraph). Sometimes both fields appears as right justified. How did you insert the fields in the header? Are they separated by a tab character? If so, you may experience difficulties if/when the referenced text is long (so that it doesn't fit on a single line of text). To avoid this problem, either place the fields in separate paragraphs (which may not look so good) or put them in separate cells of a two-column border-less table. I must writte invisible (white) some styled words are in order to show it in heading. I don't understand this... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |

Troublesome Styleref fields in headings
You mean that in the body of the document, you put text to be
referenced in the header, but format it with font color 'white' so it is only seen in the header? I only have Word XP here, and the character formatting doesn't carry through to the header. Even when I define a character style with font color = white, the header styleref text is visible. What versions of Wierd and Windoze do you have? As Stefan wrote, make sure that you don't have any empty paragraphs tagged with the referenced style. Regards Jay |
