Default Footers staying within one line

If you want the address on the left and the copyright info on the left, you
follow the directions I provided: Type the address, press Tab once, and type
the copyright info. If you have deleted the center tab stop in the header
paragraph, the only tab stop left will be the right tab stop at the right
margin, and the copyright info will go there.

That could work, but the address and copyright info is already in place so

it
doesn't have to be typed. We have a dummy address in place that gets
selected and retyped with the new address - that's when the two line issue
appears (if the address is long enough. If the address is short, it could
also shorten the line enough that we have to add spaces).

Do we set up some kind of justify right for this?

Instead of using spaces, use the built-in tab stops. If you will not

anything in the center, delete the center tab stop so that only the

right
stop at the right margin remains. Type the address, Tab once, and type

the
copyright information.

Hello All,
I've got a problem with footers. It seems (from the best I can tell)

that
a
footer will not automatically compress itself to one line. What I

mean:
The
footer contains address (left side of footer) and copyright

information
(right side of footer). The address might be long enough to push the

footer
to two lines. We'd normally delete spaces between the two items but

I've
been asked if the footer will do it automatically. Can it?

Many thanks,
John
