Persist a variable to the next file

[Lin Sims]

OK, that was about what I thought.

The short answer is, you can't do it with a RunningH/F, as it only picks up
the information in the CURRENT file.

If you want to bring the Chapter title over from a previous file, you'll
have to edit the master page to use a cross-reference back to the file with
the title in it (and set the link color to black so it doesn't look like a
link). Then you have to remember that this will need to be redone every
time you import page layouts to those files.
