Default Footers staying within one line

John,

If I understand your question correctly, you need two areas of info in the
footer: (1) the address and (2) the copyright. The address text may be long
enough to take up more than 1 line, but you want it to truncate to (a) just 1
line and (b) before the right side of that line, where the copyright info
goes.

If so, insert a 2-column, 1-row table into the footer. Adjust the column
widths so that the left (i.e., address) column is (presumably) much wider
than the right column. (You probably also want the right column to be
right-aligned.) Select the entire table then set Table Table Properties
Borders button None. For the address column, set Table Table Properties
Row tab Specify Row Height to 0.02" (works for a single line of text with

12 pt Times New Roman; test for other fonts/font sizes) and set Row Height to
"Exactly." This will "lock" the address column to displaying just 1 line of
text, no matter how much text is actually there.

Is that what you needed?
