Field missing in header
I have a head(ache)er question. Why would a STYLEREF field inserted into the
header on the first page of a four page section fail to display on the next two pages of that section but successfully display on the fourth page? There is a "hard" page break between the third and fourth pages (because I want the heading on page four at the top of a new page), but that shouldn't affect it, right? Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you Chuck Hall |

The page break will assume the style of the following paragraph; if that's
the style the StyleRef field is picking up, there'll be no text to pick up. Format the heading as "Page break before" instead. -- Suzanne S.

That's a fix! Thanks Susan! One more question, though: the fix went in the
template rather than the document. So, I opened the document and went to Tools/Templates and Add Ins/Organizer where I closed Normal.dot and opened the template in use, then copied the modified style to the document. Thereafter, the style contained the fix, whereas before it didn't. Am I missing a simpler way to update? Thanks again for your help. -Chuck "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

When you modify the style, check the "Add to template" box, and the change
will be saved to the document template. -- Suzanne S.
