This is mind-boggling because ultimately all I'm after is a wayfinder akin to "display the current chapter where I'm currently located in the document outline at the point when the reader turned the page and the new header gets generated. In my experiments so far, it seems the StyleRef syntax alone can only find Heading 1 text that occurs on the same page.
Thus, I'd like the header of page 2 to say "Relevant Professional Experience, continued" or something to that effect (a field coded STYLEREF "Heading 1" plus the text ", continued" seems like it should do the trick) and each subsequent header would dynamically update in the same way for later Headings 1, e.g., "Publications, Presentations, and Appearances" takes up several pages and ideally the heading of each page would tell the reader exactly where they are in the navigation. Thanks for this great explanation about StyleRef.ĭo you know of a technique for pulling the Heading 1 text from the previous page? For example, page 1 of my CV has a Heading 1 style applied to the text "Relevant Professional Experience." The body text beneath this heading extends onto page 2. NOTE 3: Here's another MS Word article you might be interested in: If you refer to these built-in styles with just their number, it works correctly across all Word language versions.
This causes a "style not found" message, because Word tries to find "Heading 1" when that style is now called "Titre 1", for example. to the local language when you switch Word language versions. Word translates the style names of the built-in Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. NOTE2: If you use different language versions of Word at the same time (the UI language, not the document language), edit the field codes and replace STYLEREF "Heading 1" with STYLEREF 1. Accommodating section breaks is much easier. One pointing at the number, and the other one pointing at the name. When working with section breaks, use the Show/Hide option (on the Home tab in the Paragraph group) to display them. NOTE 1: If you want the chapter number AND chapter name in the same header/footer, insert this field twice. To insert the chapter number instead, select the Insert paragraph number check box.
It is also possible at this point to create a custom first page style.
The page style name should appear on the status bar below your document.
