Running headers are missing on 3 chapters, working fine on others.

Question

I have used a previous book template for a new book. So I have updated the text variables to the new book title. I have gone through each A-Master in each chapter and inserted the new title. If there's an easy way to do this for all chapters at once, please let me know. Three of my twelve chapters will not display a running header even though it is in the A-Master. What has gone wrong and what should I do? Thank you.

If you reapply the A-master to page 52, does the running head appear? I once discovered that I was accidentally control-shift-clicking items off the master page and on to the document page (which is not what I imagine is happening to you, unless you are also running Autohotkey and forgetting about your fancy shortcuts) and, to fix it, I simply had to reapply the master pages to get 'em back.

I also see that you're using Chapter 10 as your sync source, so I'd suggest that you look at both your Chapter 10 to make sure that its master page has your running heads, and likewise you should check your Synchronization Options to make sure that your master pages are being synced. (Or, alternately, you could make sure that they're not being syncedd, so you can then go through and manually insert your running heads, or manualy import your master pages that have the right running heads.)
