Expand StyleRef functionality

P

Philologist

1. At present, a StyleRef field in a header for a section including endnotes
does not scan the text in the endnotes. This should be changed so that one
can put headings on pages containing endnotes of the same kind one can
already create for, say, membership lists ("dictionary-style" headings).
I.e., if each endnote contains a page-number cross-reference to the location
of the note in the body of the document in a distinctive style, StyleRef in
the header should be able find the first and last ones on a given page of
endnotes so that header can display "Notes for pages X-Y."

2. At present, StyleRef in a header carries hidden formatting over from the
style of the text found, but not other font formatting. This should be
changed so that "hidden" is also not carried over. That way, an embedded
cross-reference of the kind mentioned above could be hidden in an endnote
but displayed in the header.

Feature (2) has been requested by the Word MVPs (along with an option to
choose whether or not the Hidden property is respected), but don't hold your
breath.
