Multiple Running Headers on one page

Hi There

 

So my layout contains several titels, which all have the same character style and paragraph style, on one page.

And therein lies the problem.

You can use the same specs for all iof them, but heach has to have a unique name. You can base three of them off the exisiting style(s) and make the only change the name.

Hi @lambooo:

I see you are new here, welcome.

I'm with @Eugene Tyson—a screen shot or sketch would be very helpful. Until then, I am picturing four subheads on a single body page, and that you want to list all four in the running head? Is that right?

In traditional book layout, we normally just pull the first subhead into the running head to alert the reader which section they are in. In a reference guide like a dictionary or telephone book, we pull the first and last entries to show the alphabetical range included on each individual page. Yours is an unusual request, so a visual representation of your desired layout would be helpful.

I've definitely had 8 running headers on a spread (4 on each page) in the past. 

If you share a sample document of what you've got and what you want to achieve, we can take a look and advise best workflow for your scenario. 

It's possible, but would like to see the setup before committing to the answer. 

In short, using a GREP style to apply a character style to some headings - and using 2 types of Running Head variables, one useing Paragraph Styles, the other using Character Styles.

Well I think it can be done. But would love to see it.
