OF COURSE!!!!

!@#$. I should have thought of that.

Thank you. Not quite as simple as I had hoped, but it'll definitely work
for the near future.

Thanks again.

You might be able to use a StyleRef field in the Footer to pick up the text
in the First Page Footer, but you'd need to use different styles for the two
footers; otherwise a { StyleRef "Footer" } would be self-referential.

You could also use a REF field (which, being in the footer, would update
automatically), but the problem there is that you'd have to bookmark the
text in the First Page Footer, and bookmarks are easily overwritten.

It seems to me that this is an application that cries out for a UserForm
(called by an AutoNew macro) for users to enter the desired text, which
would then be placed in the appropriate places. See

Thank you for replying, but as the footer changes from documetn to
document,
they do. Which is why I was hoping that I could automaticaly make the
second
page footer the same as the first while keeping the headers different.

Oh well.

Thanks again.

They don't "have to remember to do that" if you have set up the template
correctly to contain the desired headers/footers to begin with.

Thanks, but I don't want to have my people have to remember to do that.

Oh well.

As Graham says, you just have to make the Footer and First Page Footer
the
same. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm
and
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm (and note that
linkage
between headers/footers is only between headers/footers *of the same
type*
in separate sections, not between headers/footers of different types
in
the
same section).

Good morning.

Working with a multiple page letter(2 - 3 pages, tops).

I want to show the letterhead on the first page, with a different
header
on
subsequent pages, but I want the footers to be the same.

Unfortunately, when I check "Different First Page", the footers are
different, and I cannot link them (the link to previous section box
is
grayed
out). And, when I don't check "Different First Page" the header is
(rightfully) messed up.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
