How do I show page / chapter numbers on the side of pages in word
I would like to show Chapter names on the side of a Word document to allow
for easy access to a particular section quickly. Similar to the way you would use section dividers, or tabs. A lot of text books use this. |

How do I show page / chapter numbers on the side of pages inword
Hi Billza:
Place a Text Box containing text rotated 90 degrees consisting of a STYLEREF field to the Chapter style in your running header or footer. This is easy to do but complex to explain. Research STYLEREF fields, Text Boxes, and Headers and Footers in the Word Help. Make sure you understand the help topics fully. Either ensure that your chapter always starts with a paragraph in the same style, or look up IF fields as well. You can nest StyleRef fields in an IF statement. That gets seriously complex: it is far better to discipline yourself to use the same style for each Chapter name. Things will be extremely simple (almost automatic...) if you use the built-in Heading 1 style for chapter names. While in Header/Footer View, drag the resulting text box into the margin where you want it. It will stay there on every page. Assuming that you are printing double-sided, ensure you allow an adequate Gutter for the binding margin and choose alternating headers. You will need to headers and two text boxes, one positioned for Recto (right-hand) pages, one for Verso (left-hand) pages. Come back if you need any more guidance.

Thanks for the info. I think that will work well in my document however I am
having trouble understanding how to create the STYLEREF field in the text box. Help does not seem to explain the steps to actually creating the STYLEREF field.
