How can I add a page without continuing header/footer formatting?
Thank you, susan, very much. That's my problem. It sounds so complicated
that I have to spend hours figuring it out. I just want to add doc B to doc A. Are you saying that I should add a section break at the end of doc B before adding it to doc A? Thank you very much.

Pretty much, yes. The very end of that article tells you how to get rid of
the section break later if you need to. Note that of course you also have to insert a section break at the end of doc A before adding doc B. -- Suzanne S.

How can I add a page without continuing header/footer formatting?
Well ... thank you very much. I still don't get it, and I'm pretty good
with this stuff. I wonder if there's a step-by-step instruction somewhere .... sans explination. Exactly what are the steps if you want to add Doc B to Doc A and preserve the formatting, headers & footers of both Doc A & B. For example, lets say Doc A is on pleading paper, with a header & footer. Doc B is a mailing list, with it's own header & footer. How do you make a new two-page Doc C, with Page 1=Doc A & Page 2=Doc B? Thanks again. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Pretty much, yes.

How can I add a page without continuing header/footer formatting?
I tried & tried, and followed your instructions to a T, but Doc B has same
formatting as Doc A. I even get a bonus of Doc B going from it's original 12pt. type to 9pt. type. Thank you very much for all the time you've spent on this ... and on this whole forum. Thanks.

How can I add a page without continuing header/footer formatti
Si:
If you promise to always dummy copies of your documents, and NOT the real ones, you can get closer to a "simple" way to do this using the master document feature of Word. Most experienced users will tell you NOT to use master documents, because they can easily corrupt your subdocuments. BUT if you create a master document from copies of your good stuff, and create it with no expectations of maintaining it in that form, you should be okay. (If you have to change something, change your good documents, make more dummy copies, and create a new master document all over again.) In master document view, when you insert a subdocument, Word will automatically add the required section breaks. It will also handle your other problem -- fonts etc. Word will notify you that the subdocument contains styles with the same names as the master document and ask you if you want to rename the style in the subdocument. Answer Yes to All and the subdocument styles will be renamed, and thus the appearance of the subdocument will not change. Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 |

The only "formatting" you can preserve is the section properties, which
include (but are not limited to) paper size and orientation, margins, header and footer, number of columns, page border, watermark, etc. Any formatting that is generated by a paragraph style (including the default font) will be changed to the definitions used in the target document.

How can I add a page without continuing header/footer formatti
Suzanne:
I must respectfully disagree, bolstered by the results of testing I did before posting. Word gives you the opportunity to rename the subdocument styles, thus preserving the appearance of the subdocument, down to the font. Or am I not understanding you?

How can I add a page without continuing header/footer formatting?
Si and Suzanne:
Okay, I did some more testing and found out what's going on. The built-in styles, like Normal and Heading 1 do not get preserved no matter how you reply to the messages. (Since I don't use these styles, I didn't notice that they were not being preserved in the subdocument.) Styles that you create *do* get renamed when the subdocument is created, and thus preserve the document's appearance. So to make master documents work the way you want, you'd have to use custom style names in the subdocuments, rather than using Normal or any Heading styles. In short, master documents aren't going to save you any trouble if you're using built-in styles. Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 |

How can I add a page without continuing header/footer formatti
Thanks, Bear ... but I get the same results using the master document
approach. It does automatically put in the section breaks, but Doc B ends up being formatted like Doc A ... + 12pt. goes to 9pt. Thanks very much, and I'll look at that feature for other uses. Maybe my Word program is tweaked. (Word 2002, SP2) "Bear" (nospam) wrote in message ...

You suggested using Master Documents, I believe. I was not replying to you
or taking that suggestion into account. I was following up on my previous line of instruction, and I believe that what I have said is true. Naturally, if you rename the styles in Doc B, then you would see different behavior. -- Suzanne S.
