Create a Header from a Heading Paragraph


The Problem:

I need to set up a document that uses the text from the current Heading 1 paragraph as part of the header.

The Solution:

Easy enough. Choose View Header and Footer, position the insertion point where you need the text, and choose Insert Field to display the Field dialog box. In the Categories drop-down list, select Links and References, and then select StyleRef in the "Field names" list. Choose the style in the "Style name" list (see Figure 4-20), and click the OK button. In Word 2000, you need to click the Options button in the Field dialog box, click the Styles tab, and then select the style.

Figure 4-20. Use a StyleRef field to put the text from the nearest heading of a specified level in the header or footer.
