Hi!
Every of you got me some help and I succeeded at last. Thanks a lot ALL of YOU!
So:
I used Harbs' scripts. When I had to update headers I used the RemoveSections script. After that I used the SectionFromParagraphs script with the required paragraph style choosing.
But in this way, my headers consisted of the chapters' names only. But also I had to add the chapter markers ("introduction:", "Chapter#:", "Appendix:", etc) before chapters' names. So, I defined the variable with the Running Header type and placed it on the master page.
Doing so, everything was perfect except one thing.
I work with book that consists of 3 parts. 1: Preface, 2: Manual, 3: Index. In the Manual part we start page numbering at 1. So, after using scripts, every section started at page number 1. To fix that, it was necessary to choose the Automatic Page Numbering for every(!) section MANUALLY!
What I did:
After using the RemoveSections script, I had just one section. I chose for it the Automatic Page Numbering. After it the Manual part numbering continued the Preface part numbering. Then after using the SectionFromParagraphs script I returned to the first section and chose (just for it) Start Page Numbering at 1. In this way my Manual part started at page number 1 and the page numbering was consequent in the whole part. As I needed.
Thanks again all of you for your help and advices. Now I'm free from doing this boring part of work manually :).
