MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2007headers with an optional text phrase on some pages
We need to create a document that is capable of having the word "Revised" added to the headers of some pages (those that have been revised since the last approved set of changes). We are willing to identify each page manually, but we aren't willing to add a section break at the top and bottom of each page in order to redo the headers slightly differently just for that page. Are there any ideas for using fields which could optionally return the word "revised" say, if a comment was placed on the page, or a bookmark with a name matching a certain pattern, or any such clue that the page has been revised? Thanks. Chip You may be able to do it with a Styleref field.  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Use that system by itself for more profession tracking. Through VBA you could also then go through the revisions collection and when a revision is found put a message in that page's header then accept the revisions. That menu also has a document comparison submenu. > We need to create a document that is capable of having the word "Revised" > added to the headers of some pages (those that have been revised since the [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Chip SignatureRuss drsmN0SPAMikleAThotmailD0Tcom.INVALID I'm afraid this won't work unless I create a section break before and after each revised page (this is needed in order to then change "the page's headers" as you suggest). The styleref field as the other suggestion won't work because it will simply search the entire document, forward or backward, not the current page only. If I'm mis-understanding the answer, please explain a little further. Thanks for both responses.

You can also change a single header by changing the next header's "link to previous" property. But it would not stay 'anchored' to a particular piece of text, for example, if the revision got pushed to another page. Doug's styleref answer might be best. To paraphrase stylerefs, as I understand them, they can detect the first and/or last instance of a specific style format on a page. The are often compared to headings in dictionaries that show you the first and last word defined on that page. So even if you add or delete text; stylerefs, after updating the field, show you the new first and last instance of that special style that you set it up for on that page. But how does track changes fail you. It highlights any changes by author, etc. > The styleref field as the other suggestion won't work because it will simply > search the entire document, forward or backward, not the current page only.

If I can find an easy way to get the users the ability to add the text marker fields I'm sure this will do it. Thanks!!!
