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

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

work for a few chapters then it either reverts to the previous one or

I've
been workng on this all week with no luck.

Would so much appreciate any help!!
