Hi Yves, My header consist of a running header/footer variable with heading2 in one column and the system and product name in the other column. In other books the system and product name is different and therefore I have to adjust the column width. I do not want the system/product name to break to a second line.
I figure that there isn't a fully automatized solution without FrameScript. Michael M?ller-Hillebrand suggested another interesting approach: o A text frame for the header. o 1 paragraph for the system/product name, pagination Run-In Head with Default Punctuation \sm\sm (to have a space between system/product name and running header/footer). o 1 paragraph for the running header/footer variable, right aligned. This paragraph will be automatically on the same line as the first and it breaks to the next if its length gets too long. That works automatically when the system/product name is on the left side of the header. However, when the system/product name is on the right side, the paragraph with the running header/footer on the left needs a right indentation of the length of the system/product name. That would have to be adjusted manually.
