Default Headers (the same but different for each section)

Hi Jay,

I have not used code before for my documents. Where/How would I insert the
code from the link below? Also, does this change the size of the document?

Thanks, Karen

Hi Jay, That is what I have now based on the previous responses.

By doing it this way my users will still have to go into the header
of each section and update (via F9). Is there any other way not to
have to do this?

Maybe a way to update the headers and footers when they update the
rest of the document. Currently when I want them to update the TOC,
Cross references, and the like I have them press ctrl-a and then F9.

Thanks,

If you don't already have a section break between the last chapter
and the first appendix, put one in. Then go into the header of the
appendix and turn off the Same As Previous button on the Header
toolbar. Now you can put the StyleRef for Heading 7 in the appendix
header and remove the StyleRef for Heading 1.

The article at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...rontMatter.htm
explains the procedure -- just read "main document" and "appendix"
in place of "frontmatter" and "main document", respectively; and
"StyleRef field" in place of "page number".

Hi, Thanks for the information. I was able to get most of it to
work. Now, what if my header has two different StyleRefs. For
example, I have chapters and appendices. I have the chapters
working with the StyleRef of "Heading 1", but my appendices have a
StyelRef of "Heading 7". Thanks,

If the section name (I presume on the first page of each section)
is formatted with a unique style, then you can use a StyleRef
field in the header to repeat that text on each page. In that
case, you can use Same as Previous throughout the document.

See the "Beyond Numbering" section of
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...rontmatter.htm for
details.

Hi,

I have about 12 sections in my document. The first part of the
header is the same for each section and has a reference field in
it. The second part of the header is different for each section,
as it reference the section name. Is there a way that the header
can be automated so my users don't have to update each section
using the F9 key.

The "same as previous" option will not work in this case. It
works for my footers as the only difference is my page number.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give.

Thanks, Karen
