Pick Up Section/Subsection Number In Footer And Section Name In He
Hello,
This is a complex issue that I have not been able to solve. I am hoping that someone here will be able to help me. Until now, we have written and maintained our 700+ user guide in Adobe FrameMaker. We recently converted it to Microsoft Word 2000 from Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 because most of our people with FrameMaker knowledge have left the company. There are several things in FrameMaker that we have notbeen able to duplicate in Word and were hoping that someone could tell us HOW to do this. First: In FrameMaker, we set up a section/subsection/subsection number scheme so that it would count based on the paragrapgh style we chose. For example, 1.1.1 could count up to 1.1.2, 1.2.1, 2.1.1, 1.2, or 2 as we saw fit. I figured out how to do this in Word although it does require more steps in Word and is definitely "clunkier" in Word when compared to FrameMaker. HOWEVER, in the FOOTER on every page in Framemaker, we had a tag that "picked up" and displayed the current section/subsection/subsection designation from that page. so if we were on Section 2, it would say Section 2 in the footer. If we were on Section 3.1.8, it would say Section 3.1.8 in the footer. If more than one number sequence appeared on the page, it displayed the first one shown on that page. We have not been able to reproduce this functionality in the footer in the Word document. Does anyone know how to pick up this information out of the text automatically and insert it into the footer? Second: Along the same lines as the previous question, in the old Framemaker Doc, the header displayed the current section name on the top left and the current section number on the top right. These should be easier because it only did section level, ignoring the subsections in the header. Nevertheless, we have not been able to reproduce this functionality in Word. Finally: In FrameMaker we were able to insert screen shots by file reference, rather than directly into the document, thus making the file size much smaller. In Word, I only see where you can insert the graphics directly into teh document. Is there a way to insert the graphics by file reference??? Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide us! -- Louis VZ Service Costs |
