Footer: chapter and section names
My book, which I am writing in word, has several chapters, and under each chapter there are several major sections.
I dont know much about footer design so i am using a preformatted one. But it displays two fields, one is the file name, and then, it displays the chapter name. I do not want to see the file name, and I know how to delete it... That is fine.. but instead of the file name, I want the section name to appear. And chapter name is ok to show. Alternatively I can just show the chapter name at the footer and section name at the header or vice versa. But I do not know how to display the section name. That is the problem. How can I make section name to show in header or footer? If it matters, the chapter names are with Header 1 formatting. Section names are with header 2 formatting, a little smaller. I can make adjustments to these, what matters is ,that the chapter name and section name , whereever I am at, be displayed automtically |

Simply insert two StyleRef fields into the header or footer, one referencing the 'Heading 1' Style, the other referencing the 'Heading 2' Style.

It worked thanks . I am now including the chapter and then near that the section.
And, one more thing.... Many sections ( but not all) have also their own subsections, which are header 3. so chapters (heading 1) - main sections (heading 2) are fine But if I also want to include header 3 sections, (which means subsections to main sections) then when I move on to the next header 2 main section, it still displays the header 3 from previous header 2 section, if there is no new header 3 section. is there a way to fix it? |

The simplest solution would be to insert an empty paragraph on the 'Heading 3' Style at the start of the Section, perhaps formatting it as hidden text.

I say other way because this is not very automatic, which requires me to go to all those pages one by one and do it (plus same thing happens for heading 2 too, which I just checked) is there a way to automatically do it in the footer, may be such as by writing a formula etc? if not, that is fine, i can apply this solution too. This was good enough.... |

If both your StyleRef styles are numbered as part of the same outline number list then there is a way of nesting fields to achieve this. It works by comparing the autonumbers on the headings.
Let's assume that you are including Heading 1 on all pages and Heading 2 only if it sits under that particular Heading 1 level. Set up the fields like this: the second one is nest of 4 fields. {StyleRef "Heading 1"} - {If{StyleRef "Heading 2" \n} > {StyleRef "Heading 1" \n} {StyleRef "Heading 2"} ""}
