Default Autotext within Fields

Hey all!

I produce my Word documents with a program called Author-it. It compiles many small topics into a large Word file. I need to figure out how to write a field that will recognize what Chapter it is in, and then insert an autotext/graphic in a specific location.

My chapters have designated letters. A page in chapter 1 might look like "A.4." Is there a way to have a field (maybe "IF") recognize a letter in the header (page number) and then apply a corresponding autotext? That autotext would place the graphic in the proper location.

The goal is to have different color bars appear in the headings of specific chapters. If the chapter is an "A" chapter, the bar would be red, and so on.

I'm new to the use of fields, but I think this is the right place to start. I'd greatly appreciate any wisdom you can offer!
