Change footers individually without putting in section breaks
I am working on a document and I would like to change footers individually
without putting in section breaks. I have tried putting in section breaks but it messes up the formatting of my whole document. Is there a way to change footers one by one without putting in a whole bunch of section breaks? |

That depends on exactly what and how you want to change them. If you want to repeat something that appears in the text on the current page, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm. You can use IF fields to evaluate conditions and show different results depending on the results. The conditions can be based on the page number ( {IF {PAGE} = 3 "Three" "something else"} ) or other things. If you want help with this, post again, and our friend macropod will be along shortly to give a better answer than I can. You can anchor a frame or a textbox in the text on the page and position it over the footer area to make a "fake footer". This is best done after all editing of the document has been completed, so the frame or box doesn't shift from one page to another. Finally, you can learn to use section breaks in a way that doesn't "mess up the formatting", whatever you mean by that. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...thSections.htm. -- 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. |
