Formatting a navigation thingy in the margin
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to explain this clearly...
I have an existing document in which the author displays the current section number in the margin. It appears to somehow be embedded in the header. It shows up on the left or right margin depending on whether it is an even or an odd page. Does anyone know how do this? |

In File Page Setup Layout, check "Different odd and even". This gives you separate, independent headers on even and odd pages. With the cursor in the even-page header, insert a text box or frame, drawing it in the left margin at the desired location. It doesn't have to be in the "header area". Because the cursor is in the header, though, the box will repeat on even-numbered pages as if it is part of the header. Put a Section field (or a StyleRef field that will repeat the section title) in the box. Now put the cursor in the odd-page header and insert a box in the right margin, with a field inside it. -- 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. |

Formatting a navigation thingy in the margin
For a start, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm.
You'll need to use "Different odd and even" headers/footers to put your text box or frame on alternating sides of the page. If by "section number" you mean what Word means by "section number," you can use a { SECTION } field in this frame. If you mean the number of a specific numbered heading level, then you can use a StyleRef field to pick this up (see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm). -- Suzanne S.

You could actually print it to a .pdf file again and this time tell it to
reverse the pages. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
