You are very kind. Thanks.
My plan would be to handle the 11x17 as a separate doc and just deal with it
that way.
I love the auto features of these apps, but they do have some limits ... ask
again in about 12-15 months and MSFT may solve this in a seamless manner.

Thanks, Jethro, good advice -- but I see a few issues with attaching it as
an
Appendix -- unless I'm missing something?
1) The 11x17" page may need to be in different places of the document;
can't
guarantee it will always work as the very last Appendix.
2) Won't solve the page numbering issue -- if I have users insert a new
Appendix section so they can change the paper size, the page number will
restart. Also, the footer will remain sized for an 8.5x11" page.
I was hoping to find a way to automate this feature, but it doesn't look
like there is one. Thanks for everyone's ideas!

That is straight forward and always comes at the same place and can be
referred to in the document in a uniform way.
Sorry if I missed the point, but that's what I would do.

To my knowledge, there's no way to include section breaks in a style.
Besides
you'd need two of them. Have you looked into autotext? I don't use
that
feature but maybe someone else here can tell of their experience with
it.

Pam, thanks for the feedback. I agree that users should know how to do
it
by
hand, but unfortunately that's not my reality. I like the macro idea,
but
I'm
hesitant to do that because the users of the template may have macros
disabled -- and explaining that might open another can of worms.
Another thought I had was to force a new section every time a certain
style
was used. I already have a page break forced every time a custom
Heading 1
level is used; is there a way to save a section break to the Heading 1
instead? That would enable me to set the continous page numbering
throughout
the document, no matter where they insert a different-sized page.

My thought is to teach them how to insert 2 section breaks and then
change
the size of one page/section to be 11x17. When you do that, though,
the
