Running Header not showing up on any pages Power Headers Forum

Thanks for your quick response!

When i read your possible solution i thought it sounded like the reason but it still didn't work. I understand how diffulcult it is without seeing the document but i have even tried with a brand new document, pasting in some text copy, defining a paragraph of text which i want as my running header (e.g. article title) and then gone to the master page and followed your 4 simple steps and then applied 'update document headers', but nothing happens! One thing i noticed is that after you define a frame as a label on a master, it then becomes moveable throughout any page, is this the correct behaviour? I always thought any items on the master pages were not selectable unless overridden?

I really feel there is such a simple solution but i cannot put my finger on it.

Thanks!

I don't believe it but it just worked! I didn't realise i had to type some text into my header text frame on the master page first. As i understood it from the documentation you only needed to select the text frame on the master page (like you would if you were using ID's standard running variable).

Jusy out of curiosity, why do the header frames all get overridden? Is it the only way to make the plugin work correctly? I would have thought otherwise it was better to not have them overridden, or am i missing the point?

Thanks so much for your help!

ah, the right clicking is the bit i missed. Great, now it works when i'm doing it correctly

Thanks again!
