So inserting the section name field won't always work. You can accomplish the former with the Section Manager but that won't work if all the text in your document is in a single story - sections are fixed to specific pages and you might add or delete text which may cause your sections to need to start on a different page.

I tried it with the running header on the master and source text on the page and vice versa. If Heading 1 isn't used on that page they'll show the previous use in the story, even if it's 10-15 pages earlier. They will show the first instance of Heading 1 on the page.

#AFFINITY PUBLISHER FOOTNOTES HOW TO#
anyone got a walk-thru example of how to utilise it please?Īs Ash wrote, a running header is commonly used to show a chapter/section name at the top or bottom of each page, or the title of a paragraph (like in a dictionary). I'm particularly interested in this "Running Headers" feature, but I can't quite get my head around how it all hangs together. A running header which exceeds the length of a line of text will truncate to fit the frame. At present, composition of fields doesn’t allow them to flow onto multiple lines. Additionally, you can also apply case adjustments, None to leave the text as you found it, or Sentence, Title, Upper or Lower to reformat the text in the same manner as if you applied the text case commands to the original text. You can limit the number of words or stop on a specific character, include or exclude paragraph numbering and so on. The settings for constraining the running headers are much the same as for Cross-References. Running headers are therefore intended to be placed in separate frames - usually as page headers. This is because, in the case of using “last on page” it is entirely possible a running header would, when evaluated, push the source text off of the page and thus render itself invalid. Frames containing running headers are not considered as sources for tracked styles. You can identify the paragraph or character style which should be tracked and whether you are interested in the “first on page” (which will show the first text of the tracked style on the current page or the previous text of the tracked style looking backwards through the document if none is present on the current page) or “last on page” which will show the last text of the tracked style on the current page or nothing if there is none on the current page.
The Running Header’s settings allow you to choose which text will be chosen for the instance and how it will be presented. Once placed, the field’s settings can be edited from the right-click context menu’s Edit Field. The most obvious cases are of a novel where the title of the chapter is repeated at the top of each page or of a dictionary where the first and last word defined on a given page are denoted in the header.Ī Running Header is treated much the same as other fields such as creation date or current section and is found under Document Sections on the Fields Panel. The … button allows you to configure the header, whilst double-clicking the field’s name inserts a header with the current settings into the text. Running Headers are field which refers to text of a particular style elsewhere in the document.
