I have a document with a complicated set of headers and footers, intended to
give a blank footer on the first page, then the document completed date on
the left of the footer and the page number on the right if odd numbered, and
vice versa if even numbered. The problem is that the date completed does
not update consistently after I change it in Document Properties. It updates
OK when it is on the right (even page) but not on the left (odd page). I have
tried doing the updating by using the macro suggested at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm but the problem persists.

In more detail: First section has blank first footer, and a main footer that
does the page number/completion date, using IF and MOD{PAGE} as suggested by
Jay Freedman (answer posted 6/21/2005). Second section has a first footer
which happens to be the same as the main footer of the first section
(although it does not have €œsame as previous€� ticked), and main footer of
second section is also the same and does have €œsame as previous€� ticked.
Both first and main footers of all the other sections have €œsame as previous€�
ticked. Incidentally, I also have first and main headers defined for each
section.

Sorry this sounds so complicated, any help please?
