How do you do chapter titles in InDesign?
I am doing a book layout in InDesign. The book I am laying out is basically a large collections of related short stories and such that each have their own title. I would like to auto populate the titles throughout the header of each of the pages so you know what story you are on. I used the "Section Marker" to do this and it seemed to work perfectly except it doesn't handle longer titles very well. Is there a better way to do this?

I ended up continuing to use the "Section Markers" since that was the most convenient. I only had a few that were too long so I unlocked those individually and adjusted as necessary.
Thank you for the help! That's a good alternative.

You might want to give variables for running headers a try. One warning, these are kind of tricky. Not that you won't understand what's going on, just that they don't break. If it's a really long header and you want it to wrap, this probably won't work for you.
There's a tutorial here that does a much better job describing it than I could.
