Changing Header
Hi,
Is it possible to do a dictionary type header using the {StyleRef} field with two different style types applied. I need some entries to be italicized and others not. Tom |

Could you elaborate which entries you want in italics and which not? We ought to know how *you* determin this before being able to come up with an "algorithm" for Word.

Journal names etc. need to be italicized while most all others do not.

I had a vague idea about formatting that carries over through the STYLEREF field, but some tests showed that the only thing that does get transported is -- hidden (which is of no use in this case).

That's what I was afraid of. I guess I'll either have to do a section break
between every page or else manually create headers on every page. What a bore. I know it in some ways defeats the idea of a header but I would be nice to be able to tweak a header from those around it without so much hassle. Tom "Robert M. Franz" wrote in message ...

This really is a weakness. I think I'll escalate this onto the wish list for
a future version of Word. You wouldn't want to pick up style formatting, but I would think you would always want to pick up direct formatting. -- Suzanne S.

Agreed. What I suggested was a field-specific switch. The infuriating thing
is that the one type of direct formatting that you *don't* want to pick up (Hidden) is the only one it does pick up. -- Suzanne S.

Tom As an exercise, I can think of a couple ways that might do this, but they are probably a lot more trouble than you want. Scheme 1: Tag each entry. Put a single letter in another style (call it JTAG for example) formatted as 1 point white text next to every occurrence of your real style (call that Entry for example). The tags next to the journals should be "J"; the tags next to the other entries should be something else. In the header put something like this pseudocode: {IF {styleref JTAG} = "J" "{Styleref "Entry" /*Italic}" "{Styleref "Entry" }"} Maintaining the tags would be a nightmare. Scheme 2: Get a friend (or pay someone e.g. Dieter Steffmann of Typographer Mediengestaltung does good stuff) to make a special font that has italic letters in some of the upper character positions. Use this font for your Entries and for the STYLEREF fields in the headers. Job done. You could convert your current text by using a find-and-replace macro to change normal-Entry to the special font and italic-Entry to the odd character positions. The real problem is getting the special font. There are probably other ways, probably equally unpalatable. Bob S |
