I have a long section across several pages. I would like to repeat the
section heading at the top of each new page in that section or in the
header/footer.

Can this be done and in that case how? (the section could be formatted
using e.g. heading 3)

greetings,
Ladyhawke

Yes! .-)

Well, if you have a heading 3 title in this section already (presumably
at the start), you may enter a STYLEREF field into the header which
refers to that style. Headers and footers are section properties in
Word, and if you look to it that they do not link to the section before
(and/or the section afterwards does not link to its predecessor), you
may put anything you like into it and it's only there.

OTOH, if you use heading 3 in other sections, too, and want those to
reflect the contents of their h3, you might even link all headers
together. STYLEREF will reflect the last occurrence of this style (at
least, if each section starts with it).

Cool! Did the tric nicely D

How would you solve it if it had to be the active section listed not in
the header but as first line on the page e.g. like this

"Heading text" continued...

(that is the styleref goes where "Heading text" is). Can you add that
as part of every new page? (something to do with page breaks or
something similar)

If something should appear on more than one page (and at the top), in
Word: use the header. If it needs to be placed higher or lower, then
change the header margins, or its style, or the header's content.

Anything else will be very cumbersome and/or require carefully crafted
code. Word is built to reflow text "whenever you look over your
shoulder". What has been a non-forced page break a minute ago might be
in the middle of the page later on.
