[Framers] heading text in "Running H/F #" - clever truncation ?

[john.x.posada at us.hsbc.com]

Figure out how to do reasonable length headings. Doing very long headings
will continue to plague you on other issues. There's a reason there is a
rule on sensible lengths.

or make the footer a smaller tighter text font.

Hello, Framers,

For an FAQ doc, I’ve broken the usual “rule” of sensible-length headings
because I’m making them be the full text of a question. So with the font
size, the headings are often 3- or 4-lines.

The problem is that I have my master pages configured to include the
heading text in the recto footers, via the “Running H/F #” variable. And
with these very long headings, the text overruns the available space in the
footer, pushes the footer “artwork” (just a nice pipe line between the
heading text and the page number) to the wrong spot, and completely
obliterates the page number.

So, what sorts of schemes/work-arounds have people created to deal with
this sort of issue?

(I can imagine creating a new heading style for the long-winded headings,
creating a new hidden-text heading style for the truncated text that I’d
wish in the footer, and then adding the style for the truncated heading to
the “Running H/F #” definition, which already has multiple styles to
account for, for example, “heading 1” and “heading 1 page”. But this is
certainly a hassle, and won’t be at all obvious to some other writer, or my
future self.)

Thanks for suggestions,
-Monique
