Page Layout ⇒ Chapter title in header too long

[snowbb451]

Hi!

I'm using the memoir class to format a book, and on some chapters, the title of the chapter is too long to fit in the header, forcing it to overlap the page number. aside from changing the chapter title itself, can I change just the title in the header for that chapter?

Thanks.

Hi,

use the optional argument of \chapter:

Code: Select all

\chapter[Short title]{Long title}

Thanks again, gmedina.

I'm sure I'll be in need of assistance again.
