Reply To: Indesign Header – Running Title Overlap

What I do is apply a Character Style through the Paragraph Style in the Nested Style Section.

Create as many character styles as necessary – start by selecting None – and then create new – don’t select anything, just name it RH Line 1 or something.

Then in the Paragraph Style in “Nested Style” section, make the first 4 words “Line 1”, then then next 4 words “Line 2” etc.

In the Running Heads Text Variable section – setup 2 or 3 running head variables, base them on character styles, and choose the Line 1, Line 2 etc.

Insert the Running in heads as so

<<Line 1>>
<<Line 2>>

This means that the first 4 words will be picked up and the next 4 words will be picked up.

Giving you the running heads that work for you.
