= SUMMARY =

To format separate running heads for odd and even pages, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Place the cursor on the line to be used as a running head on even pages.
 * 2) Move to the Format Running-head menu and select “position:” Top or Bottom, set “odd pages:” to No, set “even pages:” to Yes, set “first page:” to Yes, and press ENTER.
 * 3) To format the running head to be used on odd pages, place the cursor on the line to be used as the running head.
 * 4) Move to the Format Running-head menu and set “odd pages:” to Yes, set “even pages:” to No, set “first page:” to Yes, and press ENTER.

A caret character (^) should appear just to the left of the formatted lines to indicate they are running heads. If the lines disappear after being formatted as running heads, Options “show layout:” is set to Yes. To see the running heads, set Options “show layout:” to No and use the PGUP key to move to the top of the document.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Running heads are attached to the division they are in. When a new division is created, the running head that was chosen to appear on the first page takes precedence over any running head chosen to appear on just even or odd pages. So the first page of a new division will receive the running head formatted to appear on the first page of that division regardless of whether it is an even or odd page.
