Default Help Suppressing a Footer

Wait. I just saw the stuff about ctrl f9. Let me try again.

You can do this with an IF field. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/H...m#CleverTricks for the
general principle. You want the opposite result, so instead of

{ IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "Text you want to appear on the last page" }

you can use

{ IF { PAGE } { NUMPAGES } "Text you want to appear on all but the last
page" }

I have a multi page document. It has two footers on each page. One is a
line
for one to initial; the second footer is the page number. On the last page
I
do not need the line for initials but I do need the page numbers.

How do I suppress one footer without supresing the page number?

The instructions I found for doing so were to insert a section break at
the
top of the last page and then delete the footer on the last page. But when
I
did so, it disappeared throughout the document.

What did I do wrong? How do I accomplish this?

Thanks.
