Find the basic Help article on StyleRef fields at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...861931033.aspx and some
additional information at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm.

Assuming you have used a specific style (such as Heading 1) for your chapter
titles and nothing else, the StyleRef field will do what you need.

Drinks are on me! Thank you for hanging in there.

Yes, you had it right as to what I was trying to achieve. Making the
break
at the end of a section made sense to me but I quote: ".. place the cursor
at
the beginning of the page where you want to start varying the
header ----then
click section break..." All the instructions I found said the same thing.
I
knew it had to be in the section breaks Everything else fell into line
once I corrected that.

Second - before I screw it up again....I have way too many P marks - but
not
sure how they get in. I tried to delete them in draft mode last night --
but
it messed up the image placement. I am moving text and some images by
entering or deleting spaces -- is that my problem there?

Now I need to go back through the entire document and adjust the text and
images. Will my pages align as I delete/add text? Will the page number
and
headers adjust?

Need to find some info on styleref -- how to set the fields etc. I found
one
tutorial for 2004 and earlier so things are a little different. But I
will
keep looking. Thanks Again.

Jan

Note that when you add a section break, you should do so at the *end*
of the text of your preceding chapter; otherwise you may very well end
up with an extra page. Also, avoid excessive paragraph marks (¶) in the
text. The rule is: one paragraph, one paragraph mark. (To display
paragraph marks as well as other nonprinting marks, click the ¶ button
on the Home tab.)

For Word to correctly handle "filler" pages, you need to enable
"Different odd and even" or "Mirror margins" in Page Setup.

By default, when you create a new section, Link to Previous (called
Same as Previous in some versions of Word) is enabled for each header
and each footer in the new section.

Thank you for your suggestions. Maybe I can be more specific. I have
a 6
chapter document. I want each chapter to start on an odd page. On
the very
first page I enter an odd section break. Enter even/odd page
numbers -- then
edit header to add the chapter title on the right hand side of the
first
page, next to the page #.

For the next page -- an even page, I click the page numbers and select
the
even page (in this case I'm using Accent 1 & 2) Edit the header to
reflect
the even page text -- which remains the same throughout the document.
No
problem with this.

At the beginning of chapter 2 I insert an odd page break, click to
edit
header and the Link to Connect button lights up. If I click on the
header
first -- the light goes dim. If I click on the button first, to
disconnect,
then edit the chapter title, it works. It works for two or three
chapters,
then when I advance to the next chapter, same process. Insert odd
page break
- -----now I want to change the chapter title but the link button is
still
dim. However, on the second page of the chapter it lights up. Here's
where
I start having problems. If I clink on the disconnect button on the
2nd page
-- things start heading south fast. Even if I manually change the
headers,
it won't hold true when I move back and forth in the document.

I understand word is adding a blank page to ensure odd page
beginnings --
even when the next page is an odd one -- is this related to why I
can't
disconnect from the previous chapter to change the title? This is
driving me
crazy. Should I prepare the complete document then go back and insert
the
page #'s and headers? I thought I could just keep adding text,
changing
chapters as I came to them.

You can access styleref through InsertQuickParts but I've never used
it
and word doesn't include it in their help files.

Often Word 2007 Help does point to one of these online topics, but
there are
no links to "advanced" topics, including most fields.

One would think that help topics still relevant for Word 2007
(after some
minor changes) could easily be added to Word 2007 help, but
apparently
that is a difficult task. sigh

When you can't find something in Help in Word 2007, the best
resource is
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...649261033.aspx, which
provides access to the generally helpful Word 2003 Help file. But
also
see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm

news Thank you for your response Pam, I checked the link and not
being
familiar
with styleref field - I did as it suggested and checked help
for
styleref
field. Word 7 says it can't find any such thing.

For more information about the STYLEREF field, click the Index
tab in
Microsoft Word 7.0 Help, type the following text
STYLEREF

It

I've

Would so much appreciate any help!!
