I'm assuming you are using menus in Word 2003 or earlier, if you use Word
2007, the process is basically the same but involves use of the Ribbon. Insert a section break (Insert, Break, Section break, Next Page) before the last page. Then view the footer of that last page, you will notice you are in the footer of section 2 (or higher if you have more sections in your document) and on the Header and Footer toolbar, click Link to Previous to break the link with the previous section. You should now be able add a footer to this section without changing earlier sections. You can type text, or use icons on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert an automatically updating page number and change its number format or starting number. -- Samantha Cox www.herbertgeer.com.au "wrhin" wrote: The footer should only show on the last page.

This procedure is really quite unnecessary. The OP has already acknowledged
that the previously posted solution is satisfactory. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Samantha Cox" wrote in message ...

Oh I'm sorry, Suzanne, I didn't see that the question had been posted twice
by the user, I answered the topmost posting. -- www.herbertgeer.com.au "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This procedure is really quite unnecessary.

The second post had some additional content (message body), though actually
the subject line did, in this case, say it all. My larger point, though, was that a section break is not necessary because the desired result can be achieved with a field. It's usually not convenient and often quite disruptive to insert a section break where there is not even a page break. It adds unnecessary complexity to the document, and it's always worthwhile to avoid that, given the inevitable complexity of any Word document to begin with! -- Suzanne S.
