The trick is to define and apply a character style within the "Heading 1"
and
"Heading 1 bold" paragraphs and reference that *character* style in the
header.
When you select the Character option in the New Style dialog, the formatting

definition defaults to "Default Paragraph Font", which allows you to tag any

text within any paragraph completely invisibly. If, on the other hand,  you
want to be able to see what you've tagged to be included in the header, you
can define the character style to display in color; if you want to get real
clever
you can also and add a macro to your template to intercept the Print
command and change the colored text to black before printing (so that it
doesn't print out as gray).
