Word: Missing style ref in header

Question

Sorry if it's confusing with a right to left language and all. Basically my header consists of 3 parts, style ref for Heading 1, underneath it style ref for heading 2 and the page number. This table is full of pictures (the text is copied pics from a pdf). The heading 1 shows up in the header in the first page (the left page) and is mysteriously missing in the second page (the one on the right).

Don't know if it's connected, but normally I just copy the pics from the pdf and paste it. This time they had black lines underneath and I had to change their layout to square to get rid of them. Those pics with the issue did not allow me to choose their style on the home ribbon.

Thanks

Answer 1

Actually, a manual page break will take on the style of the following paragraph, so that could be your empty Heading 1.

Answer 2

On the page where the STYLEREF field fails, see if there is a blank paragraph formatted in the Heading 1 style.

Answer 3

If you have enabled "Different Odd and Even" for headers and footers, you will need to copy the missing content from the Even Page Header into the Odd Page Header.

Answer 4

Off-topic: Manual Page Break

You are showing a manual page break. In my opinion, if you can, avoid these.

Instead have styles that will start a new page with the paragraph formatting of Page Break before.

This has nothing to do, though, with the problem about which you are writing.

Answer 5

I have enabled different headers, however, even though it looks blank, there is actually a field there, an inserted style ref, namely heading 1. On every other page of this document it works perfectly, here, for some reason, it does not. If I create a new heading 1 on that page, then...voila...it shows up in the header. But I shouldn't need to create yet another heading 1, rather the one from the previous page, which is the only heading 1 in this section, should automatically carry over.
