Section Name in Footer
Hello guys:
I have a style based on "heading 1." This style is working OK, and I have built a TOC using it. Everything looks fine. I want to make a footer using those section titles, but when I look for them in Insert Cross-reference (Reference Type: Heading // Heading Text), I do not find them. So, the question is: How can I place the section name in the footer, in a way that secion name changes according to the section the footer is in? Or at least, how can I place section name, even if I have to do it for every section? BTW - I am using Word 2000 Any help is welcome. Thanks, P. |

Pauba,
Look up the STYLEREF field in Word Help. You should find your answer there. |

Hello Greg:
The problem with STYLEREF is that I can place the name of the section IF the name of the section is in the same page of the footer. If the section has more than one page, the name will not appear in the folowing footers... or am I missing something? Thanks, Nelson "Greg" wrote in message ups.com...

You can use the STYLEREF field for this purpose: With the cursor in
the footer, press CTRL+F9, which causes Word to insert field delimiters {}. Inside those delimiters, type STYLEREF "name of your style here" and then press F9. -- Stefan Blom "Pauba" wrote in message ... Hello guys: I have a style based on "heading 1."

Use a styleref field in the footer to call the style used for the headings.

The footer should repeat the text referenced by the STYLEREF field
until a new paragraph using the style occurs. Of course, this means that it is cruical that you don't have any empty paragraphs using the style, because these might cause the field to display blank on some pages (depending on their positions relative to non-empty paragraphs using the style). -- Stefan Blom "Pauba" wrote in message ...

Aha!
It seems I was using STYLEREF with a wrong switch (\l) -- now, without the switch, it is working. Thank you very much, P. "Pauba" wrote in message ...
