Hello group and fellow Worders,
I work on fairly long documents which contain sections (not Word sections,
just regular ones) arranged with hierarchal numerbering and
titles/subtitles, something like this:
1.0 Scope of Work
indent 1.1 Engineering Project
indent indent 1.1.1 Specifications
(text)
.... and so on, you get the picture. These documents are heavily edited,
whole chunks of text gets deleted, added, switched around.
When a section/subsection is continued on the next page (ie section 1.1
Engineering Project, for instance) I need to manually insert "1.1
Engineering Project (cont'd)" at the beginning of the next page, which I
then format using my Title2, let's say.
However, since I need to check ALL the pages (may be up to 200 sometimes)
for correct placing of these "dummy" subtitles with "cont'd" where needed
(none needed if a main section starts on a new page) you can get an idea of
the work involved, not to mention the hair pulling if one tiny line is added
at the beginning of the document buggering up the whole thing!
My question is thus, can I somehome make a macro, a vba command or some sort
of template to automatically generate the title/subtitle which immediately
precedes the automatic page break followed by (cont'd), on the next page?
I did check many newsgroups, archives, chats and web help pages looking for
this since I thought this would be a regular feature in word (similar to
repeating the title line in a table on each new page). Alas, I found
nothing. Am I the only person in the electronic world who needs to generate
this type of thing? Heavens, I sincerely hope not.
Any help will definitely be appreciated!
Thx
Susan
