Changing the text in running headers in master pages

The Default Part master page set shows the part name at the top left of the first pages in flows, and also shows the part name centered at the top of subsequent pages as a running header.

You can change the text shown in running headers, for example, if you want to include the flow title as well.

1. In Engrave mode, select the master page set containing the master page whose running header text you want to change from the Current set menu in the Master Pages section of the Pages panel.

   For example, if you want to change the running header text in parts, select Default Part.

2. Double-click the master page whose running header text you want to change. For example, if you are using the default master pages, double-click Default.

   The master page editor opens.

3. Open the text editor for the header text frame in any of the following ways:

   • Activate Frames in the Formatting panel, select the text frame, and press Return.

   • Double-click within the text frame.

4. Change or delete the header text.

   For example, to show both the part name and the flow title in the header text separated by a dash, enter - {@flowTitle@} after the part name token in the text frame.

5. Close the text editor in any of the following ways:

   • Press Esc or Ctrl/Cmd-Return.

   • Click outside of the text editor.

Result

The running header text is changed for all layouts that use the selected master page format.
