Help Suppressing a Footer
I have a multi page document. It has two footers on each page. One is a line
for one to initial; the second footer is the page number. On the last page I do not need the line for initials but I do need the page numbers. How do I suppress one footer without supresing the page number? The instructions I found for doing so were to insert a section break at the top of the last page and then delete the footer on the last page. But when I did so, it disappeared throughout the document. What did I do wrong? How do I accomplish this? Thanks. |

You can do this with an IF field. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/H...m#CleverTricks for the general principle. You want the opposite result, so instead of { IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "Text you want to appear on the last page" } you can use { IF { PAGE } { NUMPAGES } "Text you want to appear on all but the last page" } -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne -
Thank you. But I cannot get that to work. I copies and pasted exactly what you wrote. I deleted the text between the quotation marks and inserted my text. All I get is the whole IF filed printed out.

It did not work. Here is what I did. What did I do wrong?
I selected the text in the footer that I want on all pages except the last one. I used a CTRL X to cut it. I typed IF PAGE NUMBER TOTAL PAGE NUMBERS '' (Where PAGE NUMBER is the insert current page number function and TOTAL PAGE NUMBES is the insert total number of pages function} I pressed CRTL F9 I inserted the cursor between the quotation marks and inserted the text that I had cut. I pressed F9. All that was left was the current page number. |
