Hi Everyone,
Using Word 2003. We have policies and the Title of the policy is at the top of the page. We can't use the Header for the policy, it has to be the first line of text on the document. Is there a way to have this title automatically insert on additional pages? Title: Aerosol Therapy If there is a second page to this document, I would like this title to insert in the header space of all pages after the first one. After it's inserted I want the word "Continued" after the title so at the top of the 2nd, 3rd etc pages it looks like this without having to type it. Aerosol Therapy Continued. Thanks, Linda |

Apply a style to the title that you don't use for anything else. The style
can be defined or modified to have any formatting you want. To have a header on page 2 and following that doesn't appear on page 1, go to File Page Setup Layout, check the box for "Different first page" and click OK. Then temporarily insert a page break (Ctrl+Enter) so you can see page 2 and open its header. Insert the StyleRef field there, followed by plain text "Continued". Close the header and delete the page break. Save this document as a template, and use it in the File New Templates on My Computer dialog to create new documents of this type. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thanks Jay,
I'll give this a try tomorrow. Unfortunately we can't make this a template. We are editing documents that are already made and adding different headings and just adding this feature. I'll give this a try. I've worked with styles a little bit to make a TOC. There are many different options in the styles properties. What are the tricks/process for making a style that will be available on all word documents or will we need to add this style to each document since we are editing and not creating new.

Start with a new blank document. Click Format Styles and Formatting.
In the task pane, click the New Style button. Enter the name and formatting (font, size, bold, alignment, etc.) you want for the title, and check the "Add to template" box. The latter will cause the style to be saved in your Normal.dot template. You can discard the blank document. To copy the style from Normal.dot to an existing document, open that document (Normal.dot will be opened automatically, as it always is). Click Tools Templates and Add-ins, and click the Organizer button in the dialog. The Organizer should show you the current document on one side and Normal.dot on the other side, with several tabs, the first one being Styles. Select your style in the Normal.dot list and click the Copy button to copy it into the document. Now you can apply the style in the usual way to the existing title text, and insert the StyleRef field in the header.

Hi Jay,
Well tomorrow came about a month later...sorry. I'll start a new thread if I need to. I worked with both of your suggestions. I did get them to work but I have 2 styles named MetroPolicyStyle. One has the word Char after it and when I select the first one, and use statref, it doesn't insert but the second MetroPolicyStyle Char works. Any ideas what I did wrong? Should I get rid of the first style or do they somehow need to work together? Thanks, Linda "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ... Start with a new blank document. Click Format Styles and Formatting.

This is an area where many of us feel Microsoft made a big mistake.
There are three (or maybe two and a half) kinds of styles in Word. One is a "paragraph" style, shown in the style list with a ¶ symbol, and it's supposed to apply both font formatting and paragraph (indents, line spacing, etc.) formatting to an entire paragraph. Another kind is a "character" style, shown with an "a" in the list, that applies only font formatting; it can be applied to as little as one character. The third kind is a "linked" style. You get it by selecting text that's less than an entire paragraph (that is, text but not the paragraph mark at the end) and then applying a paragraph style. (This doesn't happen if the cursor is just a vertical bar, with no text selected.) Word applies only the font formatting that belongs to the style, and creates a linked style whose name is the paragraph style's name plus "Char". In the style list, it has both the ¶ symbol and the "a". These things are the spawn of the devil -- nearly impossible to control, hard to use, and the cause of many problems. For your current document, I recommend that you select the entire title paragraph -- including the paragraph mark at the end of it -- and apply the style named MetroPolicyStyle _without_ the Char. The StyleRef field should refer to MetroPolicyStyle, also without the Char. On Sat, 29 Dec 2007 21:54:35 -0500, "Linda RQ" wrote: Hi Jay, Well tomorrow came about a month later...sorry.

Thanks again! I have been sort of avoiding trying to understand including
the ¶ or not including when selecting text but I am wrestling with page breaks now too so I appreciate your very understandable explanation.

Then temporarily insert a page break (Ctrl+Enter) so you can see page 2 and open its header. Insert the StyleRef field there, followed by plain text "Continued". Close the header and delete the page break. Save this document as a template, and use it in the File New Templates on My Computer dialog to create new documents of this type. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

We can't use the Header for the policy, it has to be the first line of text on the document. Is there a way to have this title automatically insert on additional pages? Title: Aerosol Therapy If there is a second page to this document, I would like this title to insert in the header space of all pages after the first one. After it's inserted I want the word "Continued" after the title so at the top of the 2nd, 3rd etc pages it looks like this without having to type it. Aerosol Therapy Continued. Thanks, Linda |
