Name of the chapter in the header of the pages concerned


Recommended Posts

In the document I'm working on I'd like to make the name of heading 1 appear (chapter title) in the header of the pages that are part of that chapter so as to have visually the evidence of the chapter of which those pages are part. The new chapter starts in a new page that would have the new chapter's name in the header.

I can't find the solution in the proposed fields.  Any suggestions ?
Thanks & Ciao

Best wishes to all for a new year full of health, love and success for you and the people you love...

Go to Document > Section Manager and set up the sections to have the same page number and Chapter Name instead of the blank field or Section one, two, etc.

Place the Field (View > Studio > Fields) from Document Sections called Name: <Section Name> into a text frame on a Master Page and every Page with that Master applied will have the correct chapter name.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

This is a possible alternative, complicated solution for a document with many chapters. 
Isn't there a solution similar to what is possible with word processing (ie. WORD) by inserting a field that takes the TOC/Header level 1/chapter and shows the text in the header of the corresponding pages?
This seems to me to be an important necessity for some types of documents.

However thank you for the suggestion

I do use it a lot in my reports for business plan, feasibility studies ... it is very helpful for the reading , having the evidence of  the section/chapter that you are looking at is good,  it helps those who read it. 

I do hope that a clean solution will be included next.

Ciao
