Create a header or footer on a master page
1 If necessary, create or edit the variables you want to use in your header or footer. (See “ Create variables for running
headers and footers ” on page 94.)
2 Go to the master page where you want to add the header or footer.
The header or footer will appear on any document page to which the master page is applied.
3 Create a text frame large enough to include all the header or footer information. Place the text frame above or below
where the content of the document pages will appear.
4 Add text, page numbers, and variables as needed.
5 Apply the master page to document pages where you want the header or footer to appear.
6 If necessary, create headers and footers for additional master pages.
Create variables for running headers and footers
By default, the Running Header variables insert the first occurrence (on the page) of the text to which the specified
style is applied. Running Header variables are especially useful for displaying the current heading or title in the header
or footer.
1 If your content is not already formatted, create and apply the paragraph style or character style for the text you want
to appear in the header (such as a title or heading style).
2 Choose Type > Text Variables > Define.
3 Click New, and then type a name for the variable.
4 From the Type menu, choose Running Header (Paragraph Style) or Running Header (Character Style).
5 Specify the following options:
Style Choose the style to display in your header or footer.
Use Decide whether you want the first or last occurrence of the style that’s applied on the page. First On Page is the
first paragraph (or character) that begins on a page. If there is no occurrence of the style on the page, the previous
occurrence of the applied style is used. If there is no previous occurrence in the document, the variable is empty.
Delete End Punctuation If selected, the variable displays the text minus any end punctuation (periods, colons,
exclamation points, and question marks).
Change Case Select this option to change the case of the text that appears in the header or footer. For example, you
may want to use sentence case in your footer, even though the heading on the page appears in title case.
6 Click OK, and then click Done in the Text Variables dialog box.
You can now insert the variable in a header or footer you create on the master page.
Add automatic page numbers for story jumps
You can easily maintain the jump lines of stories that continue to other pages, such as a line that says “Continued on
page 42.” Use a jump line page number to automatically update the number of the page containing a story’s next or
previous threaded text frame when you move or reflow the story’s threaded text frames.
