Footers in Word 2007
Hello,
I'm working in a lengthy manual, using mirror margins so that the document has 2" of border on the outside of each portrait page. The doc will be printed front and back. My problem is that I am unsure how to format the footers. Currently, I am using first page, odd and even footers. Talk about a complicated doc! Additionally, the Appendix has landscape documents as well. The issues I am having are these: 1. The front matter is paginated with Roman numerals. They are not appearing sequentially--why? 2. The chapters each have an intro page (odd-numbered) and a beginning page (also odd-numbered). Word is not numbering any of these sections. I am having to go in and manually number. How do I force it to number? 3. Each footer must contain a graphic jpeg of the company's logo. Wow. Word footers sure don't like that arrangement with copyright text I have. On mirror images, the footer is formatting differently on the odd and even footers. How do I correct this? Thanks for your help! Salty |

Footers in Word 2007
1. If you are saying that numbers are missing, note that you have to insert
page numbers separately for each type of footer (odd, even, continuous). Also, in a document with multiple sections, each type of section can be linked or unlinked to its "neighbor" in the preceding section. For more, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...rontMatter.htm and http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm. 2. See above. 3. Is the logo positioned "In line with text"? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Saltlick" wrote in message ...

Footers in Word 2007
Saltlick,
That is an extremely long article. For you to expect someone to rewrite it for your benefit is kind of out of line. If you would get over the "Why did they change..." attitude, you would find that almost everthing discussed in that article applies to Word 2007. It'll look a bit different, but there is little function added or deleted, just the GUI has changed. "Saltlick" wrote in message ... "Stefan Blom" wrote: 1.

Footers in Word 2007
Isn't this the point to technical documentation? So that your user
understands how to use it? I am not finding a logical work flow to creating different footers in Word 2007 and that is why I am asking for one. Surely the person who developed the interface for Word 2007 followed a logic. If Microsoft--or any software company for that matter--is changing their GUI, they should also update their tech docs, so users understand these changes. Perhaps I am out of line. I should be using FrameMaker for all my manuals. Thanks for pointing this out. Salty "Charles W Davis" wrote: Saltlick, That is an extremely long article.

Footers in Word 2007
You need to understand that the "tech docs" you've been pointed to are not
created by Microsoft but by peer volunteers. As it happens, I wrote both of those articles. I am not yet using Word 2007, so I have been unable to update any of my articles yet. Perhaps you also don't understand that you are not addressing Microsoft in this forum, either. All the support here is provided by other users. If you want to consult official MS documentation, I suggest you start at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA Word MVP FAQ site: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Footers in Word 2007
As Charles wrote, the concepts are pretty much the same, but the commands
have new locations (which, of course, could be confusing at times). After you've activated the header/footer area (you can do this by double-clicking the header or footer), you'll note the following: The Link to Previous command, previously on the Header and Footer toolbar, is now on the ribbon (on the Header & Footer Tools / Design tab). You can access "Different first page" and "Different odd and even" on the same tab (or, as before, in the Page Setup dialog box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Saltlick" wrote in message ...

Thank you, Suzanne. Perhaps I'll "ramp up" to Word 2007, using a simpler
manual. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You need to understand that the "tech docs" you've been pointed to are not created by Microsoft but by peer volunteers.
