Easy. I assume you're using one of the built-in running header/footer
variables (you should), such as Running H/F 1. Select it in the Variable
dialog box and click Edit Definition.
In the Edit System Variable dialog box edit the definition of the variable
so that it reads:
<$paratext[Heading1, Heading1_top]>
You can specify any number of paragraph tag names within the square
brackets. Frame will insert the paratext of whichever tag comes first on the
page.
HTH!
