I'm setting H&F in a long document. I have no problem with the odd/even
numbering. However, I want the chapter name to change in the header on each 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!! -- oakridge |

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.

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. -- oakridge "Suzanne S.

Headers & Footers
You can have up to three headers (and three footers) in each section, which is the case if you have enabled both "Different first page" and "Different odd and even" in the Page Setup dialog box. Each of the headers (footers) must be separately unlinked from its "neighbor" in the preceding section.

Headers & Footers
The fact that it is dimmed just means that it is not active; that is, the
header/footer in question is NOT linked to the previous one. If you click on it, you are turning it from OFF to ON, which is why you get the question about whether or not you want to link to the previous section. If you want different text in that header/footer, then you do NOT want to link them; you can change the text in that header without affecting the previous one. As Stefan points out, however, the link is to the like-kind header/footer, of which there can be up to three different kinds in a given section. Perhaps the information at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm will be helpful. -- Suzanne S.
