Default Changing page headers in Word 2007

I would like each section (?) in Word 2007 to have a different header. I
would like the header to be the same as Heading 1 text (which I use only
once at the start of each section/chapter). Is there a way of doing this in
Word 2007? I appreciate that I can create a new section and manually
re-create the header and footer for each section but this seems to be
long-winded when all I want to do is create the same running header for the
whole document (Heading 1 text for each chapter).

Cheers.

Bobby

Sounds like the StyleRef field is what you need to be using. From the
Insert menu, select Quick Parts and then select Field to take you to the
Field dialog from which you can select the StyleRef field.

Thanks Doug. Works perfectly.

I see Word 2007 has taken improved useability seriously. ;-)

That field has been in previous versions of Word. The difference with Word
2007 is that, until you discover that the fields dialog is under what
someone deemed to be "Quick Parts", you will never find it. Nothing QUICK
about that.

Or, better still, how about dragging a tagged phrase (style) into the header
area and intelligently making that a dynamic header? It's not rocket
science.
