dictionary style header
It's an insurance list. The left column has the last name of the person.
The next column has first name of the person. The final column has the age. I want the header to give the beginning last name on the page and the ending last name on the page: "Bigelow to Burr". In the list itself I don't want "Bigelow" to appear thirty times but rather only at the first occurrence. That means that 29 times column one is blank or appears blank when the list is printed. How do I get column one to be blank most of the time when printed, but despite that the header registers the correct beginning and ending names on the page? For instance the printed page may have only one name in the left column: "Bowman" that appears 1/2 way down, but the header says "Bigelow to Bowman". |

Apply a style to the first column, let's say "LastName". Then, use the following fields construction: From {STYLEREF "LastName" } to {STYLEREF "LastName" \l} The \l switch in the second one will make Word look from the bottom of the page. Use CTRL-F9 to insert the pair of {}. -- ______________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil Montreal, Canada |

dictionary style header
Thanks, Jean-Guy.
The question isn't how to make dictionary style headers. That I have. The question is how to get the names to appear in the header when they don't print on the page. Take "Bigelow" for example. There are 50 insurance holders with that last name. I get 40 lines per printed page. The "Bigelows" stretch from the bottom of page 38 to the top of page 40. I don't want "Bigelow" to appear on every line but rather at the first occurrence alone - that is near the bottom of page 38. How do I get "Bigelow to Bigelow" to appear in the header at page 39 when the name "Bigelow" doesn't appear anywher on the printed page 39? Is there some way of making all the Bigelows in that left column transparent to the printer, so they don't appear in the printed list, but nonetheless have them very real to the header mechanism that searches the left column entries, so that he gets "Bigelow" in the header despite its transparency to the printer?

You can't use Hidden text, as that's the only font formatting that a
StyleRef field *will* pick up, but if there's space for the name and it's just not there, you could format it as Font Color: White. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne!
Now I notice - using Word 2007 - when I edit the file, which includes alot of footnotes - and I delete a body of text inclusive of the notes - the cross references aren't changing. That is to say, at note 15 it still says "see note 67", when the new note number (after the deletion of text + footnote) is 66. "Suzanne S.

If you have Track Changes turned on, nothing numbered will be right till you
accept the changes. But REF fields don't update automatically, anyway; you have to either manually update the fields (with F9) or print or switch to Print Preview to update them. -- Suzanne S.
