Multiple Running Headers on one page

[lambooo]

Hi There

So my layout contains several titels, which all have the same character style and paragraph style, on one page. Now i want all these titels as running headers on the top of each page. Indesign variable now limits me to only chose the first or last "running header". But in my case i have like 4 headers per page. Do any of you know how to solve this or know any scripts for this problem? I am searching the web now for quite some time.

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.

Hi there @Eugene Tyson @Barb Binder @Peter Spier thanks for answering me!
Here is a screenshot of my layout! You see its a little bit more complex. actually i have these titels which are on each page different but i also have the same issue with the name1-6. I solved this as you @Eugene Tyson suggested with different paragraph styles names for each titel, but other problems appeare for example: 1. i have around 200 pages that are designed like this with all different titels on each site, sometimes there are only 2 titels sometimes there are 4 (as you see on the screenshort compering left page to right page) so solving it with paragraph styles i have to manually check each page, because if there is only 2 running headers on each page, it will continue the header from before... thats why i was wondering if there is a script or idk something else to solve it. maybe with GREP? Thanks for your help!

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.

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.
