Headers (the same but different for each section)
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 |

Headers (the same but different for each section)
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. -- 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.

Headers (the same but different for each section)
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, "Suzanne S.

Headers (the same but different for each section)
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". -- 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.

Headers (the same but different for each section)
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.

Headers (the same but different for each section)
Instructions for using macros are at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. The code should go into the template for your documents (or into a global add-in), not in the documents themselves. It isn't clear from the earlier parts of the thread whether you actually have a template (a .dot file), or whether you're just passing around copies of a document. I strongly suggest you use a template (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...latePart1.htm). In that case, the macro won't have any effect at all on the size of the document. The problem with putting a macro in a document is not that it changes the size, but that macros in documents are a security risk, so Word makes it as difficult as possible to use them. It either disables them completely or displays a scary warning box every time the document is opened, depending on the setting of an obscure option in the Tools Macro Security dialog. -- 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.

Hi Jay,
I am using a template (.dot), that everyone uses to create their document from. We have been fairly successful using the template, only a few bumps.

Headers (the same but different for each section)
Hi, I am using Graham's macro as suggested by Jay, however, it doesn't appear
to update the Table of Contents, Tables, and Figures that I have. It works great for the headers, footers, bookmarks, fields, etc. Does anyone know a way to modify this macro in order for it to update everything in the document? Thanks, Karen |
