It should still be possible to do what you want, but you may have to access
the "hidden" sections deviously. If it's just a matter of page numbers, you
can place your insertion point in one of the continuous sections and go to
Insert | Page Numbers | Format. (Be careful to use Close rather than OK when
exiting the Insert Page Numbers dialog.) If you need to access the
headers/footers themselves, insert a temporary page break in the middle of
the center section, then remove it after you've fixed the header/footer.

Alternatively, remove all the section breaks, get the headers and footers
working (make good use of the StyleRef field so you won't have to change the
header/footer too often), and then restore your multicolumn sections.

Breads, Appetizers, Cookies. . .

There were about 10 catagories. Everything was fine. I had used tabs

from
the first column to the second column in the recipes but I had to fiddle
around with it a lot. About 3/4 of the way through, I changed them all to
columns because it was much, much easier to type them and use the column
feature. I did not realize I was now creating a new section (continuous)
every time I typed a new recipe.

I found where I can specify the pages to be on the outside of each page

and
I may have to settle for that as opposed to some of the other stuff I

wanted
in the footer on alternating odd/even pages.

I appreciate your help!!!! I may just have reconfigure each recipe to a
table format.

Hi ?B?Q2hyaXMgSy4=?=,

Try replacing the columns with TABLES, and removing the continuous

section
breaks.

as a matter of fact: can you be more precise about why you used section

breaks
for "different categories"?

I am making a family cookbook (up to 200 pages now) that has different

next
page sections for different catagories and my thought was odd/even

footers
to keep the pages on the outside. Worked great!!! Then in comes

somone else
who changed my recipes to "columns" instead of tabbing here, there,

moving
stuff around up and down like I did. It worked MUCH better and turned

out
beautifully and now everything is down to the wire until I went to

finish the
headers/footers. Now, they are mostly odd footer pages where a new
continious section break has been added on that page, Now there are

new odd
page footers where "technically" they should be even pages and there

are a
very few even pages here and there. Can anyone help? My intentions

were
good, I just made a mess. Sorry. If you can figure this out, you are
wonderul.
