Section names in Header?

[Lanie]

Hi All,

I've created a document which I broke into different
sections using different 'Styles', which work as they
should in Outline view or in the Table of Contents. What
I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to do now is to insert the
name of the particular section of the document into the
Header. For instance, I have a section
called 'Introduction' and another called 'Conclusions',
which is formatted in a style which I called 'Section'.
I would like to insert the section name into the
Header, so that 'Introduction' is written in the header
for all pages in that section, 'Conclusions' written for
all those pages, etc. I assume it to do with some
Autotexting option, but I can't make heads or tails of
the watered down Autotext option in the Header.

I'm thrilled if anyone can help me. Thanks in advance.
Lanie

Use a StyleRef field to pick up the Section style. For more, see Word's Help
topic "Field codes: StyleRef field."
