Problem

Solutions: SYMPTOM

While editing a subdocument the user receives the error message "Header A not found" when trying to insert a header discontinue code into the document. The user also cannot set left and right margins at the top of the subdocument when the margins being set are the same as the default margins for that subdocument.

SOLUTION

This is caused by the auto code placement feature which is stripping what is considered to be redundant coding.

How/Why:
The user was editing the subdocument separate of the master document and the default for Header A in the subdoc was discountinued, therefore, the formatter would not allow another instance of a header discountinue code in the document. The same holds true for the margin codes. The default for the margins were one inch left and right. The formatter would not allow left and right margins of one inch to be placed into the subdocument since that was already the default.

There are two ways to work around this problem.
1. Place a Delay code with the Header A Discountinue code and the right and left margin codes on the last page of the subdocument before this subdocument. When the subdocuments are expanded into the master document the delay code will then modify the subdocument correctly.
2. Create an open style that places both the Header A Discontinue and the left and right margins into the document and apply it to the first page of the subdocument.

Hint: When creating both the delay code and the style code you will need to define a Header A with a space or some other character inside of it, then when you insert a Header A Discontinue code it will strip the Header A code and leave the discontinue code. This will also work for footers, fonts, page numbers, etc.
