[The John Owen]

I would like to use the current chapter title (as defined by the most recent
occurrence of Header 1 formatting in a document) as an element of the page
number in a Word 07 document I am creating. I can obviously do that manually
by putting a cross-reference on each page. I can also obviously have Word
recognize how many times Header 1 has appeared, because that seems to be what
triggers Word to increment the chapter number by 1. But how can I get word to
automatically recognize not just the chapter number, but text contained
within the chapter title, and have it appear in the page number like so:

Name of the chapter here | 2

I'm not any good with Visual Basic, but I am happy to revise existing code
with offered suggestions and then play around with it.

Thanks!

Investigate the StyleRef field which does what you need.

You will need two Style Ref fields, one for the paragraph number and one for
the paragraph text. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm
