How do I set a heading format to "Odd" page (or section) break bef
I want to set Heading 1's paragraph format to place a page break (or section
break) before the paragraph so the style places the heading on the right side page. The left page in the verso-recto pair may or may not be blank as a result. I'm inclined to think this hasn't been made into a Word feature yet, but sometimes options and work-arounds are hidden in strange places. Yes, I know I can insert a page break or odd section break manually, but I want it as part of the format. Are you listening Microsoft? This would not be hard to code, and there's plenty of space in the Paragraph format dialog box under the Line and Page Breaks tab. |

You can set Page Break Before as part of a style, but Odd page starts
requires a section break, and you cannot set Section Break before, as you say. The only workaround is manually inserting section breaks. Yes, this would be a handy feature. However, let's consider the ramifications of a Section Break Before setting with "automatically update" Normal style switched on. It could get very ugly.

SirWizard,
You can cobble together a fair work around using some AutoText fields and an If fields. Insert and select single page break and save if as an AutoText entry. Name it SPB Insert and select two adjacent page breaks and save it as an AutoText entry. Name it DPB Enter the following field code. Note all brackes { } are entered with CTRL+F9 {IF{=Mod({Page},2)}="0"{AutoText "SPB"}{AutoText "DPB"}} Select this field and save it as an AutoText entry. I used Newheading1 OK, when you apply a new heading 1 start typing Newheading1 and when the autocomplete tip fires, press enter. The page breaks should format your document as you described.

Thanks Greg,
That's somewhat like the way I captured chapter names to place into page headers for a book I helped a friend edit.

To capture heading titles in a header (or footer), you could
alternatively use the STYLEREF field. Look it up in Help. -- Stefan Blom "SirWizard" wrote in message ...

Thanks Stefan. That was VERY helpful. The document on which I'm working today
is improved (and simplified) with STYLEREF. It works great with my "Link to Previous" footers. (But you already knew that.) "Stefan Blom" wrote: To capture heading titles in a header (or footer), you could alternatively use the STYLEREF field. Look it up in Help. -- Stefan Blom |
