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

[Shmuel Wolfson]

You could change the Running H/F in that doc to be a higher lever 
heading or you could just put the document name "Frequently Asked 
Questions" instead of the Running H/F.

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.

But this is certainly a hassle, and won't be at all obvious to some other writer, or my future self.)
