Default Headers & Footers

I may have pinpointed the problem but don't know how to fix it. In the H/F
everything goes along fine. Maybe 3 chapters, maybe 5 chapter but then when
I go to the next section, click to edit the header, click in the header ----
instead of the Link to Connect box lighting up - it stays grayed out. If I
click it it asks if I want to connect to the previous chapter and when I say
no, I either have to leave that chapter with the previous name - or if I
change the name, all the previous chapters change also. It almost seems like
the Link to Connect button loses it's reference - and doesn't light up when
it should.

Why would it not stay the same from chapter to chapter -- or am I doing
something wrong? I've watched the videos, downloaded the text files from a
number of places -- they all say the same. It should work -- but that danged
Link to Connect button is messing me up. I'm having so much trouble getting
this done I'm not sure I want to switch to a new process, like the styleref,
even if I knew how to do it. There are only 6 chapters, but I can't get past
4.

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

chapter. I've read all the helps and cannot find my error. I think
it's in
the section breaks but can't figure out where I'm going wrong. It
seems to
work for a few chapters then it either reverts to the previous one or
when I
set the last chapter -- the headers all change to that chapter name.
I've
been workng on this all week with no luck.

Would so much appreciate any help!!
