Hi -- I'm trying to relearn FM after several years of not using it, so please bear with me. I'd like the book title, which is displayed in its own document (with the tag Title), to also be displayed in the headers of each chapter in the book. I'm using the Running H/F 1 variable whose format is <$paratex[Title]>, but it's not showing up in subsequent chapters.

The FM User Guide says that FM will search the document, and if it can't find it, will search backwards until it does, but it seems to only seach within a document, not hop back to the beginning document. Is this how it's supposed to work? I tried using the Running H/F 3, which references a marker that you create, and that doesn't work across documents either.

Thanks so much for any help you can give!
Daryl
