As Margaret says, this is the "gotcha" here. Although you can enable
"Different first page" for individual sections, "Different odd and even"
always applies to the entire document.

Sorry, there's no fooling Word on this one - different odd and even always
applies to the whole document. You will have to copy and paste the headers
and footers in Section 1 and 2 so the same stuff appears on both odd and
even.

Hi Jezebel,

That's exactly what I've done ... several times. BUT, each time section
3
changes the settings for sections 1 and 2. I've started from scratch
(more
than once). There's no logic and I just don't understand why?????

Thanks, S.

You're on the right track, but there's no need to 'fool' Word. It's
designed
to do what you want. Set up your three sections as described. Go to
section
3. For each header and footer: activate the header/footer, then clear
the
'Same as previous' button on the Headers and Footers toolbar. Now you
can
format the headers and footers for sections 1 and 2, and for section 3,
independently.

Please HELP!! I've tried all manner of devious tactics to fool Word
but
...

I am developing a mulit-section template (I use Word XP) as follows:

Section 1: Front cover. Header is a background logo as a watermark.
Header
and Footer = no selection

Section 2: (Copyright and Acknowledgements). Section Start = Odd
page.
Header and Footer set to Same as Previous. (I want the background
logo
on
*all* pages in both sections.)

So far, so good.

Section 3: This section starts with the Table of Contents. From this
point
on I *want* the headers to be different on odd/even pages. Section
start =
Odd page. Header and Footer set to Different Odd and Even.

BUT - this is where the trouble starts - when I set the Different Odd
and
Even in this section it changes the settings in Sections 1 and 2. I
have
tried both This Section and This point forward. Same deal.

(BTW, Section 3 starts with a Table of Contents that has roman
numeral
page
numbering. I wouldn't normally have mentioned this here but I've just
been
reading the thread started by Steve Bateman and there was something
"quirky"
related to this for his problem.)

Does anyone have any idea how to get around this? I've tried just
about
everything I can think of (including removing all the headers and
starting
over).

Thanks a million in advance.

Sharon
