Running Headers

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Tim,

The Running Header/Footer variables cannot "see" the contents of previous
files (unless your documents are structured). I would use Running
Header/Footers with markers instead of paragraph formats and use FrameScript
to automatically populate the markers with the correct text. If you are
interested in an automated solution like this, please contact me offlist.
Thank you very much.

I have running headers that reference Chapter Title on left pages and
Heading 1 on right pages. Some chapters have multiple files, so they don't
include a Chapter Title and sometimes not even a Heading 1.

I expected that within a book the variable would pick up the referenced
paragraph from an earlier file. This doesn't seem to be the case, and I now
have blank headers on some pages of the final document.

How do I fix this? I couldn't find an answer in my Unstructured FrameMaker 8
book, so if you know it's in there, just point me in the right direction.

Thanks. tims
