    In an upcoming anthology, I apply a text variable known as “Story title” to the (you guessed it) story title. The story title then appears as the running header until the next story begins. Repeat.

    Only problem is some story titles occupy two decks. Title is too long, return, looks good. But then the running header lacks the second half of the title. One story is titled “Secret of the Wreck.” I strike the return key after “of,” but then the running header reads “Secret of.”

    I tried Forced Line Break, Return, Discretionary Line Break … nothing seems to work.

    Keep it original (with space, no break characters) and format it locally with left and right indent.

    Well, I’m not certain that’s the solution. The story title on the title page is on two separate lines. But the running header should be on one line.

    In that case apply different styles to those two lines and put two running headers, one bellow the other, on the same page.

    One below the other?

    Yes, in two separate text grames.

    When I have this issue, instead of putting aline break, I put a big enough indent to make part of the title move onto a second line and then apply “no break”to the words I want to stick together. It works perfectly.

    Using Shift + Return should retain the entire title (I use it all the time) in your running header variable. I call it a soft return, not sure if that’s what you meant by Forced Line Break, but it should work.
