Document Classes ⇒ Dictionary Headeres with fancyhdr

[Omukawa]

I'm trying to make dictionary-like headers with the "fancyhdr" package. What I want is to make the first and the last word on the page appear as header (for example: If the first word is "horse" and the last one is "house", then the header should be "horse-house"). According to the manual of the package this is possible but I find the explanation there too abstract and short.
Does anyone know how to do it?

[...] Does anyone know how to do it?

The documentation of fancyhdr does. And it provides an example for exactly this issue in Section 10 (Dictionary style headers, p. 11).


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you for you time but the documentation is exactly my problem: I find it too short und it's not quite explaining how it exactly works for a LaTeX newbie like me. That's why I wanted to know if anyone used it before, who can explain it more thorough.
