Sorry, Suzanne,
I lost our thread about dictionary headers in the Greek word list. How about this? When the document is done, I create a macro that checks each page for a blank cell at the top. If there is a blank, the macro searches for the last loaded cell on the previous page and inserts its word into the empty cell at page top. The program/macro does this for the whole document. Then I have the headers and the pages as I want them. Can a macro do that kind of programming task? "Mark" wrote: Thanks for you help Suzanne.. Sorry about any confusion "Suzanne S.

What "style based solution"? That I have headers that don't show the true
state of the page-contents? If I'm doing Bible-verses in the left-column I may have a verse commentary in the right that spans several pages. Then the header is totally blank, since its reference-point is listed two pages back. And the reader flipping through (not reading page at a time beginning to end) has no idea to what verse the commentary at the right refers. The solution with the Greek word-list, which is pretty much one line to a cell, is to put the word in every row (don't leave blank cells), but that puts a burden on the reader, who must search for word-changes that often involve only one small interior letter.

What I have said from the outset is still true: a StyleRef field will pick
up the most recent instance of text in a given style. This means that it will pick up the reference several pages back provided that you don't have intervening empty paragraphs in that same style. You can leave blank cells; just format them as Normal or some other style. -- Suzanne S.

Okay, here's what I tried in Word 2003:
1. Created a three-page, three-column table (row height set to 1"). 2. In the top left cell (page 1) typed "Heading 1" and changed the style to Heading 1. 3. In the bottom right cell (page 3) typed "Heading 2" and changed the style to Heading 2. All the other cells remain Normal. 4. In the header, inserted a StyleRef field to pick up Heading 1 and a StyleRef \l field to pick up Heading 2. I see the words "Heading 1" and "Heading 2" in the header on all three pages. What am I doing differently from you? -- Suzanne S.

You're playing with me, Suzanne. Now fill in some of the blank cells on page
2 - say the fifth on the left and the tenth. Then what do you get? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Okay, here's what I tried in Word 2003: 1. Created a three-page, three-column table (row height set to 1"). 2. In the top left cell (page 1) typed "Heading 1" and changed the style to Heading 1. 3. In the bottom right cell (page 3) typed "Heading 2" and changed the style to Heading 2. All the other cells remain Normal. 4. In the header, inserted a StyleRef field to pick up Heading 1 and a StyleRef \l field to pick up Heading 2. I see the words "Heading 1" and "Heading 2" in the header on all three pages.

And the reader flipping through (not reading page at a time beginning to end) has no idea to what verse the commentary at the right refers. The solution with the Greek word-list, which is pretty much one line to a cell, is to put the word in every row (don't leave blank cells), but that puts a burden on the reader, who must search for word-changes that often involve only one small interior letter.

Exactly! Why are your cells 1 inch high? Make them .2 inches high! Now on
page 1 put "John" in cell 10 and "Jane" in cell 15! Jump to the next page, and put "Kate" in cell 5 and "Korry" in cell 7! Now jump to page 3, and put "Laura" in cell 15 and "Lanny" in cell 20! Format your headers - everything is Normal except the 6 cells with names - assign them the invented style Greek. I have a Tavultesoft Greek unicode keyboard installed, but I guess you don't. The header reads "From (field 1) to (field 2)". On page 1 I want to see "From John to Jane", on page 2 "From Jane to Korry" and on page 3 "From Korry to Lanny". When the reader of the report flips to page 2, he'll know from the header that the information in the right columns at the top of page 2 applies to Jane and not Kate or somebody else.

span three pages. Note that "dictionary-style" headers are really intended for documents like dictionaries that have many brief entries on each page rather than relatively long ones than span pages.
