{ STYLEREF-"Heading 1" \l \*MERGEFORMAT}

I have a continuous section break and then a new HEADING 1. My Headers work fine on all my new sections except mysteriously for this section. This header is blank, but the toggle shows: { STYLEREF-"Heading 1" \l \*MERGEFORMAT} the toggle shows up, but no title shows up. Even if I COPY the code, I cannot paste it anywhere. . .as if it is invisible ink.

This usually indicates that you have a blank paragraph somewhere on the page and that that paragraph is formatted in the Heading 1 style. In other words, the STYLEREF field is "displaying" a blank paragraph, meaning it displays nothing.

You should be able to find such a paragraph using the Navigation Pane. It should show up as a blank line there.

You originally added this at the end of your other related question about using headers. Then you posted (correctly) this as a separate question. Thank you.
I deleted the post in the previous question and marked the question as solved.
