Create and format headers for sections

Create section headers for the legal brief. Insert a running header that shows the section title on each page for Sections A, B and C, use the company serif font at 12pt, left-align the header on odd pages and right-align on even pages, and ensure the header updates automatically when a section starts so the running header reads Section A: Background, Section B: Analysis, Section C: Conclusion.

Before I circulate the brief, make the headers make the structure obvious for reviewers. Use running headers that show the current section title, put the section number and one-line summary up top, ensure headers switch at true section breaks not page breaks, and flag any places where the header might continue from the previous section and confuse a reviewer in procurement or counsel.

I set running headers to show the section title using section breaks, but on several pages the header still shows the previous section’s title. I’m unsure if I used the right type of break, whether 'Link to Previous' is off, or if the content is in the wrong section. What is the most likely cause and the fastest sequence of checks to correct the headers before the afternoon filing?

Every filing cycle I spend time fixing headers—wrong section titles, Link to Previous still on, and headers bleeding across section starts. I need to stop firefighting this. Which habit change will reduce these errors most: inserting explicit section breaks every time I change section, training a junior to check 'Link to Previous', or creating header templates for common brief types? Pick one and explain why it saves the most time.
