You could bookmark the heading text in the TOC, but the bookmark wouldn't survive rebuilding the TOC. <br />
<br />
The simplest way would be to bookmark the heading directly and to put a REF field pointing to it on the header.

Another thing to remember is that a Header is intended to carry over between pages. To be certain that the page has a new Header you would need to use a seperate Section for it.

hi<br />
is it possible in word 2003 to get the page header to automatically display the relevant section heading from the table of contents. lets say you have the following toc<br />
<br />
1. word<br />
&nbsp; 1.1 creating toc<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;1.2 columns<br />
<br />
2. excel<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;2.1 formulae<br />
<br />
the page showing section 1.2 columns would have the 'chapter' title 'word' in the header<br />
<br />
thanks

generating header from table of contents

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
