In addition to any type of regular content (e.g., text, images) and page numbers, you can insert Heading variables or Running Head variables into template pages.
How to Insert a Running Head Variable Into a Template Page
- Add a variable set to the project, selecting the Running HF template.
- From the Content Explorer, open the template page.
- Place your cursor where you want to insert a Running head variable (i.e., in a page header or Page Footer proxy).
-
Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:
-
Ribbon Select Insert > Variable.
- Local Toolbar Click
. - Keyboard Shortcut On your keyboard press CTRL+SHIFT+V.
The Variables dialog opens, with the variable set(s) on the left and the variables associated with the selected set on the right.
-
- On the left side of the dialog, select the Running Head variable set that you created.
-
On the right side of the dialog, select the variable you want to insert. Unless you edit the variable definitions to change the style classes within them, each variable is associated with one of the six heading styles (h1-h6). When you insert a Running Head variable into a template page, Flare inserts the text from the first occurrence of the specified style on that page. If it doesn't find text using that style, it uses the text from the previous occurrence of that style.
Example If you want the header in chapters to display content that is using the h1 style (perhaps you are using this style to display the chapter title for your output), select the Running H/F 1 variable. The header will then display the first h1 content that it finds in the document (e.g., "My First Chapter Title"). When the next occurrence of the h1 style appears on another page, the heading changes to display that text (e.g., "My Second Chapter Title"), and so on.
- Click OK. The Running Head variable is added to the template page.
