Default Footer problems

Um, I don't get it.

I need a caution paragraph to show up only once. I figured a footer would
be a logical way for this to happen. If there it is a one page document it
shows up on page one. If the document is two or more pages, it only shows
up on the last page.

The link to previous is always grayed out.

All the permutations I try don't have the desired effect. Either the
footer is off on the first page always or always shows up. This happens
even when I insert page breaks (section page break) and then delete the
paragraphs above to make it one page again. Is there a wway to insert
section breaks which are not page breaks?

If all else fails, you can insert section breaks, then turn off the Link
to Previous setting (in the Header and Footer toolbar) to make the
headers/footers in different sections independent.

New job, new letterhead, office converting from WP.

I got the letterhead figured out OK by using 'different first page'. But
we often have multiple page FAX sheets which presents a different
problem..

If it's a one page fax, it needs a header and a footer. The footer is
the (long) caution paragraph. If there is more than one page, then we
need a header on the first page only and the footer only on the 2nd or
last page. I can't get this to work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
