Dynamic header content?
Working within a confined document structure (gov style), I'd like to have
section headers, formatted as "A. General Comments...B. Specific Comments...etc," be reflected in the header throughout the document. I'm limited, it seems, by dates and other static information. Any suggestions? thanks- |

Any suggestions? thanks- Assuming these headings are all formatted with the same style, and that style isn't used for anything else, then you can insert a STYLEREF field in the header to repeat the text of the headings. See "Beyond Numbering" in http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...rontMatter.htm for instructions. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

If you are using styles consistently, you can make use of the STYLEREF
field. Read more about it in Word Help. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kevin komatz via OfficeKB.com" wrote in message ...

Ah, I see. I've been tinkering and may be able to get what I want.
Thanks all. p.s. Is there a good publication that describes lesser known functions (like the use of fields and style references) other than the ones MS puts out or is that pretty much the bible? -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

Is there a good publication that describes lesser known functions (like the use of fields and style references) other than the ones MS puts out or is that pretty much the bible? The online Help file is OK at explaining stuff, but the index is pretty bad -- a lot of the time you have to know what you're looking for, or exactly what Word calls it, before you can find it. The books from QUE Publishing, such as "Using Microsoft Office", are pretty good. Like any printed book, they have their limitations -- if the specific thing you want to know isn't in the book, there's no way to ask for more info. There's a ton of stuff at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs, including tips and hints that are hard to find elsewhere. It's a bit of a disorganized jumble, though, because the articles are all written at different times and with different levels of explanation. There are links to the websites of individual MVPs and others at http://word.mvps.org/UsefulLinks/index.htm. Probably the best method is to use the Advanced Search at Google Groups (http://groups-beta.google.com/advanced_search), using "microsoft.public.word.*" in the Group box, to search for words or phrases in these newsgroups. Often you'll find one or more threads that describe the solution. If you don't find what you're looking for, ask here! -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Follow-up question to this (or should begin a new thread?):
Successfully added the section headers in the header area. However, though the sections are in a "A. Comments" format, they are appear as "A. Comments" in the header. Why is transferring it this way and can I format either the Header area or the Styleref so that it appear as it does in the document text (or even remove the leading A). Thanks again- -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |
