Page-only formatting?
I am trying to update a form from Wordperfect 12 into Word 2003. I am
basically taking this peice from scratch and for the most part I can do all the formatting exact same. Except for the formatting (headers/footers most importantly). I need to find out if there is a way to format each page individually within one document. This document is multiple pages, but has different formatting on each. I cannot link each page because this is a document that will be widely used throughout the company and they cannot link to my documents. Is there a solution? Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can lend. PS...in the end this will be a protected document with form fields. |

Page-only formatting?
I am not sure exactly what you mean by formatting here. If you mean a
different headers/footers, then you will need to insert Section Breaks where you want to change the header/footer as headers/footers are attributes of a Section, not of a Page. To insert Section Breaks, select Break from the Insert menu. By default, the headers/footers in a section are probably linked to those in the previous section. There is however a button on the Headers and Footers toolbar that is used to unlink them, so that one can be changed independently of the others. Other types of formatting can be applied separately to paragraphs, or fonts (which means at the character level. -- Hope this helps.

Page-only formatting?
In Word, what you're used to thinking about as "page formatting" is replaced
by "section formatting". That is, all the pages between two section breaks will have the same header, footer, page margins, orientation, page numbering style... To make each page have a different format, you have to insert section breaks so that each page is a separate section. Then you can change whatever formatting you need to change on each page (that is, for each section). Be aware of the "Same As Previous" setting on headers and footers -- when a header (for instance) in a section has "Same As Previous" turned on, that header will be the same as the corresponding header in the previous section. The footers are independently settable, too. To have different headers/footers on each page, you have to explicitly turn off "Same As Previous" in each section after the first. -- 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. tyectk wrote: I am trying to update a form from Wordperfect 12 into Word 2003.
