Automatically change footer?
I did a search, but there were so many footer questions...
Is it possible, when creating a template, to have the footer change automatically from one footer (a signature box) when my template is one page to another footer (page 1 of x) when it runs 2 pages? My template is a bid proposal and most of them are one page long. But if it has to be two pages, can word automatically change the footer? Thanks for any help. |

Automatically change footer?
Yes. You can use a field of this type:
{ IF { NUMPAGES } 1 "Footer you want on a 2+-page document" "Footer you want on a one-page document" } If you don't know how to insert these fields, post back. -- Suzanne S.

Automatically change footer?
With the selection in the desired place in the footer, hold down the Ctrl
key and press F9. That will insert a pair of field delimiters into the Footer { } between them, type IF { IF } With the selection between the F and the closing }, do a Ctrl+F9 again { IF { }} Inside the inner pair of delimiters, type NUMPAGES { IF { NUMPAGES } } Now, type 1 "Footer you want on a 2+-page document" "Footer you want on a one-page document" between the two closing } }, making sure that you have a space either site of the Press Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of field codes. -- Hope this helps.

Sort of have it working...I didn't type in the "", but the footer for a two
page document is showing up for a one page document. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: With the selection in the desired place in the footer, hold down the Ctrl key and press F9.

Automatically change footer?
I got it to work, but it's still not what I am looking for. I need the last
footer to remain the same whether it's one page, two or three. If my document turns into two or three pages, I need the footer to change to "page 1 of x" or "page 2 of x" and so on. Is this possible?

Automatically change footer?
Sometimes you have to update the field manually (F9) to see the correct
results. Are you saying you want a different footer on page 1 from the other pages? If so, you can enable "Different first page." See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm for more on that. Also note that the TrueText can include *everything* you want to appear in the footer of a multipage document, and the FalseText can include what you want for a single-page document. That is, it doesn't have to be just the part that changes. -- Suzanne S.
