Include a footer in your autotext
I have set up an autotext for a fax cover sheet which has a disclaimer in the
footer of the document. When I use the insert Autotext feature, it doesn't pull in the footer. Any suggestions? |

Include a footer in your autotext
If you want the disclaimer in the footer, you must use View | Header and
Footer, then select the AutoText entry (saved in the Footer style) from the menu on the Header and Footer toolbar. If you're saying that you're trying to create the entire fax cover sheet using an AutoText entry, then this is the wrong approach. What you want instead is a template; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart1.htm. -- Suzanne S.

You cannot have both regular text and a footer in the same AutoText entry. Instead of trying to make AutoTexts for these things, make a fax template (or use one of the several fax templates that come with Word, or look at the templates available at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...fax&av=TPL000). Put the disclaimer in the footer of the template, and every document you base on the template will automatically include the disclaimer. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Include a footer in your autotext
An AutoText can only store footer information if it includes a section
break. Of course, that AutoText would actually store a whole section (including headers, footers, margins, page number formats, etc.), which is definitely overkill. The correct approach to do what you are asking is to create a template, as Suzanne and Jay have already explained in their replies. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "babypops" wrote in message ...
