I second the suggestions of others, to use right-aligned tabs.  My own 
running headers include a variable, ChapterShortTitle, that contains 
either the full text of a short chapter title or some sensible 
abbreviation of a long title, so that my [Heading1] or [Heading2] 
variables have lots of room at the other end of the line.  Since you are 
planning to put your product name variable where I have a 
CahpterShortTitle, you may find you need to choose a shortened version 
of the product name to accomplish the same roominess.

Best,
