Thank you for sticking with me. I did delete the extra carriage return icon and got the page number and title on the same line at least. But a problem persists...

I know the problem is with styles. I have 34 different styles set for this book (headings, index, footnote, endnote, note references, block quote, running heads [even & odd], glossary, author, etc., etc., etc.). They worked just fine a couple of years ago and the book turned out great. Now when I'm trying to incorporate a new chapter (written in a separate document, without the styles applied) I'm having trouble.



The style for "running head, even page" is supposed to have a centered title and the page number in the upper left corner of the page. The style for "running head, odd page" is supposed to have a different centered title and the page number in the upper right. But each time I try to modify the style it applies to both the even and odd page alike.

I know it's something obvious that I'm not seeing!
Thanks for the links. The refresger on styles, with your notes, was especially helpful.

CORRECTION: When I modify the style the position of the page number (right or left) stays the same on both even and odd, but the differing text is appropriate / correct. The problem is that the page number is supposed to be on the left for even pages; on the right for odd.

Again, you have two separate headers (not header styles, headers). Ignore the styles for the moment and focus on that. If you do not have two separate headers, that is the problem. Take a look at the links I gave you.

They are for the Windows menu versions of Word which is the closest to Word 2011 that I know. These principles for headers and footers and page numbers have been true of Word back to Word 5 on the Mac; I expect they are true of Word 2011. I could be mistaken, of course.
