formatting in automatic page footer
excuse me if i'm using wrong terms in question, have dutch version of indesign 6, , not sure of translation in english.
i regularly have following problem. in books, want chapter titles appear automatically in page footer. define text variable on paragraph level, using style chapter titles, , put in page footer.
sometimes want text in footer appear in small caps, , in old font real small caps in separate font. (no, don't want spend lot of money replace these fonts because of problem.) page footers make paragraph style in small cap font.
the problem is, in fonts these figures can in table style (the old style figures in regular version of font). that's not like.
i thought handle problem defining grep style (all figures getting text style in regular font version), didn't work (and can more or less understand why).
of course there reasonable workarounds (i have used them), have smart idea how solve automatic settings?
i'm not sure understand question, maybe will if understand far id concerned variable single character impossible have multiple formats within variable text unless use multiple variables.
depending on text itself, possible assign character styles different parts of paragraph want use in running header/footer, use 2 or more running header (character style) variables build header/footer itself. these character styles don't need -- can blank except having unique names don't affect actual formatting of paragraph in appear.
