AW: Displaying heading text in a book

[Reng, Winfried]

Hi,

I have a similar layout as you: a textframe which spans
the whole page and below a 2-column textframe which holds
the actual index entries. My text frames are both "A".
Probably that´s the reason why your setup does not work.

Best regards

Winfried
