AGAIN WITH THE SECTIONS

[Desktop Publishing Girl]

I must be doing StyleRef incorrectly because its not working for me in
creating sections without section breaks. Please explain further.

Also... Since I'm begging for help, do you guys know of a way to have the
headers and footers adjust automatically to the margins when you change the
page layout from portrait to landscape.

eg.

Portrait Page

Section Break Next Page

Landscape Page
(how do I make the headers and footers for this page for this page adjust
automatically)

Thanks again guys. You all are amazing.

There are other reasons for needing section breaks than just changing the
content of a header, which is the only thing a StyleRef field can (in some
cases) do. If you need to have a different layout on the first page of a
chapter (page number in the footer instead of the header, for example), then
you'll have to have a Next Page (or Odd Page) section break with "Different
first page" enabled. And if you're changing orientation, then you'll of
course need section breaks.

As for the Portrait / Landscape header, the only way to have it
"automatically" adjust to the margins (unless you're using Word 2007, which
has a new kind of tab stop for the purpose) is to use a table with width set
to 100%, and this can cause your document to shimmy unbearably. It's
generally just simpler to unlink the sections and reposition the tab stops
as needed.

"its not working for me" is not descriptive/detailed enough, so it is very
difficult to "explain further".
