Re: running heading in multiple files of the same chapter

[Thomas Neuburger <thomasn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rick,

A good question. If you're working in Frame 6, you can set the chapter 
number property of each of these chapter pieces to be the same (say, each 
is set in the book file to chapter 4), then use the new <$chapnum> variable 
in the do header (which in Frame 6 you would do anyway). To set the chapter 
number in Frame 6, right-click on the selected chapter(s) in the Book file 
window and choose Numbering.

Or you could use the chapter pieces as text insets in a master chapter doc 
that collects and orders them all. The header/footer properties of the 
master doc would then be the one that applies.

Hope this helps,
