Header formatting in LINKed docs not working
I have a series of Word docs that I'm LINKing to a "master"
document. Each of these smaller docs has it's own header. The header has an AUTOSHAPE (line) drawn under the text in the header. Additionally, the header text is formatted to span the entire top of the doc, from left to right margins. When I print the master doc, the headers are messed up. The autoshape is gone, and the text no longer spans the top of the page. Below is a crude representation the issue: Page - |-----------------------------| | header text rt side | | | | hdr line2 rt side | |_______ (autoshape here) ____| | --- END OF HEADER --- | | | | text here... | | | .. .. .. |_____________________________| Again, in the LINKed SOURCE doc, the header appears (and prints) normally, but in the "master" doc (no, I'm not using a Word Master doc; I'm just using the TERM), the underline is missing, and the header RT SIDE text is not on the right side of the header, as follows: Page - |-----------------------------| | header text rt side | | | | hdr line2 rt side | | | | --- END OF HEADER --- | | | | text here... | | | .. .. .. |_____________________________| There is a SINGLE TAB in the LINKed source header, between the left and right side text portions. This single tab effectively places the "rt side" text aligned on the right margin of the document. But not when I view/print the "master". Any assistance you can provide would be deeply appreciated. Thanks! |

Header formatting in LINKed docs not working
Hi Dennis,
I have a series of Word docs that I'm LINKing to a "master" document. Each of these smaller docs has it's own header. The header has an AUTOSHAPE (line) drawn under the text in the header. Additionally, the header text is formatted to span the entire top of the doc, from left to right margins. When I print the master doc, the headers are messed up. The autoshape is gone, and the text no longer spans the top of the page. Well, are you certain the headers are all being imported through the link? HOW are you making the link?

Header formatting in LINKed docs not working
syntax is:
LINK Word.Document.8 path and filename here \a \f 0 \p There are no headers in the "master" document. Only LINKs. And the headers DO show up; just not the autoshape, nor the correct formatting of the header text.

Header formatting in LINKed docs not working
Hi Dennis,
Sorry for getting back to you so late. My hind-brain has been struggling with this, trying to fill in the gaps in the information. LINK Word.Document.8 path and filename here \a \f 0 \p 1. If you use a LINK field to insert a document object into another document the headers and footers (as in View/Header and Footer) will be supressed. The only things that might show are Drawing Objects that expand beyond the set header/footer area. (I just tested again, so I'm sure) 2. A document object can't display more than a single page (the first), nor can it break across to another page. So it wouldn't need headers/footers. 3. This being the case, I can't figure out exactly how you're setting this up, nor how you expect it to work / what you need. From your original description, I would have expected you'd use Insert/File, which generates an IncludeText field. There are no headers in the "master" document. Only LINKs. And the headers DO show up; just not the autoshape, nor the correct formatting of the header text.
