Multiple headers

[Calendar gal]

Word 2007. How do I create different headers in one document that is not
separated by chapters/page breaks/sections?

Typing Court transcript and need headers to reflect "direct" and "cross"
examination on pages.

 

[Terry Farrell]

The usual and most reliable method is to make use of the StyleRef Field. Say
that you want the Header to reflect the Chapter Name, then you would use the
StyleRef to reference the Chapter Heading Style. StyleRef (without any
additional switches) will look for the referenced style nearest the top of
the page of that header. Each time you insert a new Chapter Name, the
StyleRef picks up that new name. So you need to pick up the style that you
have used for direct and cross, so it may be necessary to create a new style
and apply to just those.

What's wrong with using section breaks? That's Word's mechanism for dealing
with varying header/footer material. Page numbering can be continued from
previous sections while still varying the header.

[If they alternated, then you could use the Different odd and even option
(Page Layout ribbon tab - Page Setup launcher - Layout tab). But, my
experience with transcripts is that they don't alternate uniformly.]

When I use section breaks it sometimes wipes out my existing header that
includes the page number and line numbering 1-25 down the side of the page.
I'd like to keep the page number and line numbering plus add "Smith - Direct"
or "Smith - Cross" in the header. How do I apply the section breaks
correctly? I've already switched the breaks to continuous so I don't get a
new page.

If you're using styles to format "Smith - Direct" and "Smith - Cross" in the
body, as indicated in another response, you can use the StyleRef field to
put that information into the header. This would be similar to the way
dictionary headers are done. This is certainly the simplest solution,
assuming the use of styles makes it workable.

If not... then the trick is to turn off Link to Previous (in the Header &
Footer Tools Design ribbon tab) for section's headers. Once that's done,
"Smith - Direct", etc. can be placed into separate headers, and page
numbering can be instructed to continue from the previous section.
