Changing header within Publisher 2003 document

[Karna]

I have a 150 page publisher document that is divided into 7 chapters. Is
there any way I can change the header for each chapter (to reflect the
chapter name) or once the header is set, it has to stay?

thanks

You can create 15 master pages. On the second page of your document, on the pull
down, click ignore and apply to the page range of your document. Then go to the
start of each chapter and apply the appropriate master page.

Got it -- thanks! The different headers work well. I understand the
pagination. But now my text boxes are off "just a little." I set each Master
Page with the same Margin Guides and created a text box to mimic those
guides. What did I do wrong?

One other note: I inserted four pages and cut-paste photos into the
document. My problems come after the photos. Would this have affected the
postion of my text boxes?

When you use a master page, you will have to adjust the text on the publication
page in order to not cover the information. With Publisher any object stays
where you position it. The wrap may make it seem the text box is moving, it
isn't. The text moves not the box. Adjust the wrap.

Long documents are best done in Word, all the tools are there. Publisher is a
text box application; when you have 150 pages, it takes a mighty amount of
tweaking to get it just right.

I understand the text wrap concept and yes, it's tedious to with a huge
document. But, Word can't layout in booklet form, can it? And doesn't
Publisher give a little "nicer" look -- that's why I've chosen it.

My text box, actually, did move off the margin guides. I can adjust them
manually if I need to -- just hoping I didn't have too!

Thanks for all your help. I've used Publisher for 5 years on small projects
-- didn't even realize this kind of help was out there (though this is, by
far, the largest project I've attempted with Publisher.)
