RE: Persist a variable to the next file
There is another way to do it that doesn't use either a Running H/F system variable or a cross-reference, but whether it can be used depends on whether you are already using both the $volnum and $chapnum system variables. Simply put, for each set of files that make up a given chapter you define either the $volnum or $chapnum system variable to be Text format (at the very bottom of the format list), with the value set to a string that matches the title of the chapter. Then in the master pages, you use either the $volnum or $chapnum, as appropriate, in place of the Running H/F 1 system variable in the header or footer layout. -Fred Ridder Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2014 17:21:07 -0500 Subject: Re: Persist a variable to the next file From: ljsims...@gmail.com To: john.x.pos...@us.hsbc.com CC: framers@lists.frameusers.com OK, that was about what I thought. The short answer is, you can't do it with a RunningH/F, as it only picks up the information in the CURRENT file. If you want to bring the Chapter title over from a previous file, you'll have to edit the master page to use a cross-reference back to the file with the title in it (and set the link color to black so it doesn't look like a link). Then you have to remember that this will need to be redone every time you import page layouts to those files.
