Sections - Word
I know this has been posted before, but I am still at a lost and I am a
designer and I just don't get Word. I have many sections and I would like the first page of all sections to be different second page to be blank third page to have header section different the sections that follow to be even and odd pages that are the same throughout then you start over with section two Is this that difficult.... |

Sections - Word
Hi Treza,
If you must have one book section equal to one Word section (that is, the part of a document between consecutive section breaks), then it can't be done -- the second page will have the same header and footer as the other even-numbered pages, and the third page will have the same header and footer as the other odd-numbered pages. One alternative is to use two Word sections for each book section: one for the first two pages, and another for the rest of the book section. The other alternative is to use a different program (although I don't know which one). Which method would you prefer? -- 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.

How about using a conditional field for the header and footer? If page
numbering is continuous would probably need a bookmark on the first page of each section - then use {IF} field to test current page number {PAGE} not equal to {PAGEREF} of the bookmark +1 ? -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Yes, that might work. But you'd have to be disciplined enough to set the
correct bookmark and the matching PAGEREF field in each new section. Forget one or the other and you get either the "Error! Bookmark not defined" field result or a header/footer where you don't want one. Treza, if you're still reading, the proposal is: - In File Page Setup Layout, check both "Different first page" and "Different odd and even". - On the first page of each section, insert a unique bookmark. For example, in Section 2 the bookmark might be named Sec2. - In the headers and footers, turn off Same As Previous in each of the three kinds (First Page, Even Page, Odd Page). - Set up the First Page header and footer and the Odd Page header and footer as you normally would. - Use a nested field in the even-page header/footer, something like this: {IF {PAGE} {={PAGEREF Sec2} + 1} "Even Page Header"} where the bookmark name in the PAGEREF field must be the same as the bookmark on the first page of the same section, and "Even Page Header" represents whatever text you want on the even-numbered pages starting on the fourth page of the section. To create such a field, you must use Ctrl+F9 to create each pair of field braces -- you can't type the ordinary {} characters on the keyboard, and you can't create a nested field in the Insert Field dialog. The meaning of the field is that the text "Even Page Header" will appear on the even-numbered pages (because it's in the Even Page header/footer) only if the current page number is not exactly the number of the first page of the section plus one. It gets the page number of that first page by looking for the Sec2 bookmark and asking for its page number. -- 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.
