[Issue 128407] New: Cannot put chapter number in header; Chapter
name only changes page after definition

changes page after definition

copy of starting three chapters of book
Now there are two problems that are close enough related that I think they
should be considered one (combined) issue, but if they aren't I can open a new
ticket.
$$ Background to both problems
I am writing a book where after the table of contents the book switches to a
left/right header. (Variables in the example below are placed *inside
asterisks*.)
Left page header consists of "my name - book name".
Right page header consist of "Chapter *chapter number* - *chapter name*".
Left header is OK. Right header appears as "Chapter - *chapter name*", but only
on the page after header 1 is defined, it retains the old chapter name until
the next page.
$$ First problem
$$ Issue
So there are two problems with the header:
1. Chapter number will not display at all.
2. Chapter name does not change until the page after the Heading 1 entry.
The first makes no sense. The second is odd. When I'm setting the new chapter
name, presumably I might want to display it on that page's header if that page
happens to be the side that displays chapter names. This shouldn't be that
hard, I mean, Word Perfect 8 for Windows 95 got this right 25 years ago.
$$ Second problem
$$ Background
1. At the start of chapter one, the variable *chapter* is set to 1.
2. At the start of each subsequent chapter, the variable *chapter* is set to
the value *chapter+1* . Then in the text "Chapter " *chapter* are displayed,
and it's correct. On the next line *chapter name* is defined through a Heading
1 paragraph. As a result, *chapter name* is defined as the appropriate heading
value. This also means I can simply copy any chapter header except chapter 1,
paste it on another page, change the heading 1 value, and the new chapter and
all subsequent chapters are automatically renumbered.
$$ Issue
While the chapter number does show when I place it in the text at the start of
each chapter, I cannot get it to display on the header. If I enable fields
there is a marker there, but it never displays anything.
I have cut down a piece of my document to show the first two chapter and the
first page of the third. It's a bit long at 14 pages but it shows all of the
problems, how the chapter name doesn't change in the header until the next
page, and the chapter number never displays in the header at all.
Thank you for your assistance.

--- Comment #1 from rfc1394 <pa...@paul-robinson.us> ---
I just realized I may be describingwhat the left page and right page backwards,
i.e. the author and title appear on the header of the right page, but the
behavior is otherwise as described.
