The easiest way IMHO is to use the markers "Header/Footer $1" and/or
"Header/Footer $2" and reference these in the footer with, say,
"RunningH/F 3" and/or "RunningH/F 4" resp., which read these markers.
These two markers and system variables are there to meet the need of

Hi Caroline
Thanks for that, but unfortunately - as Niels thought - it doesn't work

parameters and options varies.

I did the quick test (Courier -> Courier New) and it didn't preserve
the italics but did preserve the different font in the xref. So the bits

So by the look of it, I need to find/mak
