I sent the text today just before sending the attachment (separately). Here it is again...

I’m having trouble with the running head (odd page / recto) in the last section of my manuscript.

Running heads in 13 sections of the manuscript appear as they should (static heading on even / verso pages; different heading for each section on odd / recto pages).

Then section 14 (appendix) and 15 (notes) don’t work. Either the odd pages in BOTH sections display “Appendix,” or, if I try to correct it, they BOTH display “Notes” as the running head.

The next section is the Glossary, which is section 17. Running head on odd pages says “Glossary” so it’s OK.
The Index is the very last section, and running head on odd pages says “Index,” so it’s also OK.

I’ve read and re-read multiple times the various recommended readings on sections and headings in Word. I know that the heading settings are controlled by the section break that follows the text. So I’m assuming that somehow the section breaks that I’ve used are wrong. Somehow sections 14 and 15 seem to be behaving as if they are one section.

So here’s how they are laid out from section 13 to the end:
At the end of section 13 is a “Section Break (Odd page)” leading to Appendix on odd page

At the end of section 14 (Appendix) is a “Section Break (Odd page)” leading to Notes on odd page

At the end of section 15 (Notes) is a “Section Break (Continuous)” (the single word “Notes” is section 15; it had to be created that way to force the Glossary and Index after the endnotes. That trick was a minor miracle that Paul Epstein performed for me in 2013 when I first created the manuscript.)

I cannot “see" section 16 as such, but it must be the 35 pages of endnotes, between the word “Notes” (section 15) and Glossary (section 17); that 35 pages is followed by “Section Break (Odd page),” leading to the Glosssary on odd page

At the end of section 17 (Glossary) is “Section Break (Odd page)” leading to the Index

So it looks like that strange “section 15”—the single-word section heading (not a header), “NOTES,” may be where the problem is. If the section break following that one word controls the headings in section 14 and 15

(And I'll see if I can send the attached png separately to show you how the page breaks appear between sections 14 and 15.
