Heading 1 stops changing in chapter 3

Default Heading 1 stops changing in chapter 3

I am new to using advanced features, so be very explicit, please.

I haphazardly typed hundreds of pages and am now editing and formatting

I stumbled onto the header feature.

I highlighted my chapter titles using header 1 (Segoe 14). I inserted styleref and indicated heading 1. I set page one to different.

Page 1 is currently PREFACE. It is one page long. I started on line three, so I see no header and I like that. Page 2 is HOW TO READ THIS BOOK. I see that chapter title in the header on subsequent pages. Good so far.

I see the header change when I get to TABLE OF CONTENTS, which is highlighted as a HEADING 1. TABLE OF CONTENTS is in the header on subsequent pages. ALL STILL GOOD.



However, when I get to CHAPTER 1, the header did not change. TABLE OF CONTENTS is in every header thereafter.

The other question I would like answered:

In the CHAPTER HEADING, I have a SEGOE Symbol (A keyboard) . Different chapters might have different symbols. That symbol is switched to a box with a question mark in it. Not cool. It seems text characters are transfered into the header but not wingdings or symbols Is there a work around?

See StyleRef Field and What is the difference between headings and headers?
Is your Chapter 1 title in the Heading 1 style (or whatever style your TOC heading is in)?

On your question 2, can you post a sample document with the problem?

For future reference: please, one question per post. You can post multiple questions the same day.

Review your Document in Outline View.
Using outline View, make sure your Headings are correct and only apply to the appropriate text/paragraphs.

What happens when you either (1) hit Print Preview and examine your document, or (2) click into that header and right mouse click on the Chapter 1 title in the header, and choose "Update Field"? For me, it just needed to refresh that field either of those ways (or actually printing will update it automatically too.)

For the special characters - like you, I'm finding they don't pull through with the StyleRef. That's not something I've ever had to do.
