Running Headers—I've read tutorials and many people's method, but got nowhere.

[mortyfromqueens]

Hello. I spent yesterday and until now at 3 p.m. trying to establish headers for my

367-page document in InDesign CC 2017 to be printed as a book, trying to figure-out

headers for it.

Running headers seem to be the best kind for this, but I haven't been able to work it out

even after reading many people's method, including ones referred to in InDesign searches.

I want the headers to be established so that I can insert from the text what I want in them.

My book has 4 sections and many subjects, but I do not want to choose "sections,"

"chapters" or anything in the running headers specs.

Just an aside: This will be my final task in InDesign for this book.

I've made my way through pagination and text-wrapping.

Thank you so much,

Morty

That's great news, Morty. Me, I'm busy digging out after a spring snow storm. Ah, the joys of living in the Rockies.

Here are screen shots of:

1) A-Master with Placeholder Text in the running head text box;

2) 2 text pages that show that applying Master to all pages didn't work.

     In fact, what is #1 doing in those text pages?

     (My document was numbered (below the text boxes, and without a footer).

          Thank you,
