Encyclopaedia-Style Headers in Word

[Susan Brown <sbrown -at- JSCSYS -dot- COM>]

Hi, Hi!!

        It's funny how tools can frustrate you.

        I have primarily used Frame for 10 years. Recently, I have required
to do a lot of work in WORD, and I am constantly having difficulty doing
things that either I or my boss wants.

        The current problem is with what I call Encyclopaedia stye headers.
My boss wants the outside of each header in the document to have a reference
to the current section, as in:

Page 1               |  | Page 2                     |  | Page 3
____________________________________________________________________________
           Section 1 |  | Section 1                  |  | Section 2

        I am sure there is some way of doing this, but I haven't been able
to figure it out yet.

        I have defined the problem as this (though I may be completely off
the beam): I need a way to pick up the current Heading 1 numbering andtext,
and place it on the touside edge of the page headers. (Frame does this quite
easily, but this seems to be because it 'knows' more about what it is doing
in various paragraphs than Word does.)

        Who can help????
