Disappearing Footers
I support a DoD agency and working on a Word document that complies with that
agency's guidelines for formatting. Part of that formatting requires differing page numbers, based on the content of that page. This requires the use of sections, in some cases, a new section for every page. "View Headers and Footers" is turned on, so I can edit the header and footer as required for each section". Since footers are different for each section, the "link to previous" is turned off. Here's the problem. Due to numerous editing changes over the past view months (page added/deleted), I've encountered a situation where a footer disappears completely. Remember "View Headers and Footer" is still turned on. I'll scroll up to a previous section, the footer is there. I'll scroll down to the next section and footer is completely gone. Scroll down to the next section, and the footer is again visible. So what causes the footer to disappear? On that page, in that section, the header is visible and can be edited...just the footer has gone "poof". gone. I've tried deleted the section break in that portion of the document and reinserting the section break...same problem. Mvps: Do you have any experience in this regard? Thanks, Vince. -- Thanks, Vince -- Thanks, Vince |

If you haven't already, tick Tools | Options | View: Text boundaries on and see if there's no area (that would really be a novum for me, and I'd read it as a strong indication of document corruption).

Which section break exactly did you delete: the one before or after this section? HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Disappearing Footers
Robert,
I'm saying that the area for the footer isn't there (on that particualr page). The page above Page 1) is a different section and header/footer are clearly visible. The below (page 3), is a different section and header/footer are also clearly visible. When I go to the second page, only the header is visible. The area for the footer is totoally empty. It's like a big empty space. -- Thanks, Vince "Robert M.

Disappearing Footers
Chances are you have a section break somewhere on page 2. Try putting a
temporary manual page break (Ctrl-Enter) in near the top of page 2. Do you now have a footer? -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "vbbuilt" wrote in message ...
