master page - dynamic header [message #368855]

Hello,

I am building a report to be seen with the viewer and downloaded as ppt.

I set every "slide" with a page-break in the grid which is the frame for
each page.

Is it possible to have the header dynamicly built page by page (slide by
slide, always different)?

The reason is that for one of the slides, the table inside it may (or may
not) be bigger than the page/slide and complete in the next (in the case
it is).
Therefore if I use labels at the top of every page instead of a header,
for this overrun-page there is no header. Even worse: I have a background
image which gets covered unsightly, because the overrun table starts at
the top of the page.

Many Thanks,
Tero

Tero,

Have you looked at the new and notable for 2.5. There is a section in
it that describes page variables and scripts. This most likely could be
used in your case.
