How do I chang the header on each new chapter?
I'm writing a multi-chapter book using Word 2003.
My book consists of several chapters. I would like a slightly different header on the first page of each chapter. I am using one of the supplied Microsoft templates for my book (I think that it's the "manual" template). This has a large chapter number and some other text on the first page of each chapter. Subsequent pages have slightly different running headers. I have added a new chapter to my book but it has inherited the previous header. I would like it to take the header style from the Chapter 1 from page. Can anyone advise? Cheers. Bobby |

You can use a StyleRef field to pick up the text of a given style (the
chapter title, for example), or you can insert section breaks, unlink the headers, and type in different text. The first method is by far the easiest in most cases, but see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm -- Suzanne S.

Subsequent pages have slightly different running headers. The usual way to accomplish this is by dividing your file into separate sections (one for each chapter). Headers and footers are section properties, and you can define a section to have a "different first page" header/footer.

But, unless you need a section for other reasons, look into the StyleRef
field first. It is one of Word's underutilized treasures. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

I just read the OP differently: "a slightly different header on the _first_ page of each chapter" could probably mean both scenarios (a different first page header, which you need either section breaks or uselessly complex and inflexible IF field constructs, or a "living" header, where one section suffices.

Agreed, and I realized that after seeing your post. Even with section
breaks, though, the StyleRef field saves a lot of work. I do use (Odd Page) breaks between chapters, but I also use StyleRef fields so that (almost) all my First Page, Even Page, and Odd Page Headers/Footers can remain linked throughout the document. -- Suzanne S.
