Running HF and System Variables

New Here ,
Mar 16, 2009 Mar 16, 2009
Goog Morning, reading the Structured Application Developer's Guide I don't understand how can I use Running Header variables.
I would like to insert a page counter in a Frame, something like
<$elemparanum[CardTitle]>/<$lastpagenum> where the CardTitle element is in another frame. I don't understand if I have to create an element or I have to define only the variable. I've tried to insert the variable but it doesn't work.

Running headers and footers go on master pages, not in text frames, though I am not sure whether the latter is forbidden or just not done. So, if you put the running header/footer on a master page, then define it as <$elemparanum[CardTitle]>/<$lastpagenum>, which will insert the paragraph autonumber of the CardTitle element, followed by a slash, and then the number of the last page.

Thank you, but in my master page I have several text frames, in one of these I have to put my variables. I've tried but doesn't work.

Master pages contain two types of text frames. Usually there is a text frame that holds the main content of the document. In the Object Properties of this text frame, the Tag is usually set to A and the autoconnect box is checked.

The other type of text frame holds the running headers and footers. Its Tag is blank and the autoconnect box is NOT checked.

Maybe you have the variable in the wrong text frame.
