Styleref heading not on same page revert to previous page
I want to use two styleref fields in the header that insert headings one and
two. If the first heading two is not on the same page as its heading one, Word searches backwards and inserts the first heading two it finds. From my reading of online help, this seems to be the way it is designed -- although I'm not sure why this would be useful. Is there some way to fix this? I have thought of some workarounds but they make for difficult maintenance for the end users who will own these documents. The document is lengthy - perhaps up to 300 pages. |

Styleref heading not on same page revert to previous page
The idea of looking back is that the heading referenced in the header is the
one whose subordinate content is on the page (or starts on the page). What do you mean by 'fix'? What behaviour would you like to see? -- Enjoy, Tony "Judith Weir" Judith wrote in message ...

Styleref heading not on same page revert to previous page
You can control this to a certain extent by creating a character style that
doesn't actually store any formatting (so that it leaves the text unchanged), apply the style to the relevant headings, and then use a STYLEREF that references the character style. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Judith Weir" wrote in message ...

Styleref heading not on same page revert to previous page
I'm guessing that the OP doesn't want to see a Heading 2 from the *previous*
chapter, which is a reasonable request. As far as I know, the only way around this is to make use of a character style that you can apply on top of the relevant Heading 1 and Heading 2 paragraphs; this controls which text actually appear in the header. For example: { STYLEREF 1 } { STYLEREF "My character style" } (where you can have the first STYLEREF in even headers and the second in odd headers, whichever you prefer). The character style "My character style" should be applied to all Heading 1 *and* Heading 2 paragraphs. For chapters where Heading 2 is missing, both STYLEREF fields would display the text of the current Heading 1 paragraph. I don't know how/if this can be handled in more complex cases. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tony Jollans" wrote in message ...

Yes, I realised after I posted that she was looking for dependent
stylerefs - but they don't work that way although, as you say, it is not an unreasonabke request. -- Enjoy, Tony "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
