That’s true. When I realised this I abandoned my attempts with a frame and returned to testing with the header itself. To no avail.
Is there a predictable 1-1 relationship between page number and header content?
No: every header will be different.
Would it make sense to maintain your content in a database and generate the document from the database?
I’m afraid that databases are far beyond me. I have years of experience with word-processing and with page layout, but I’ve never made or used a database and wouldn’t know how. Also, the content of the proposed headers is apparent only at the last moment, after the pagination is finished, as it is based on whatever happens to be on each page.
I have to leave it aside for a while, but I’m reconciling myself to placing individual text frames on each page.
