Word 2007 Header/Footer Issue on Multiple Pages
Good morning.
Working with a multiple page letter(2 - 3 pages, tops). I want to show the letterhead on the first page, with a different header on subsequent pages, but I want the footers to be the same. Unfortunately, when I check "Different First Page", the footers are different, and I cannot link them (the link to previous section box is grayed out). And, when I don't check "Different First Page" the header is (rightfully) messed up. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. JPC -- JP Cummings |

Copy the first page footer and paste into the subsequent page footer.

As Graham says, you just have to make the Footer and First Page Footer the
same. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm and http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm (and note that linkage between headers/footers is only between headers/footers *of the same type* in separate sections, not between headers/footers of different types in the same section). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, but I don't want to have my people have to remember to do that.
Oh well.

They don't "have to remember to do that" if you have set up the template
correctly to contain the desired headers/footers to begin with. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Cummings" wrote in message ...

Suzanne --
Thank you for replying, but as the footer changes from documetn to document, they do. Which is why I was hoping that I could automaticaly make the second page footer the same as the first while keeping the headers different. Oh well. Thanks again. Jim -- JP Cummings "Suzanne S.

Word 2007 Header/Footer Issue on Multiple Pages
You might be able to use a StyleRef field in the Footer to pick up the text
in the First Page Footer, but you'd need to use different styles for the two footers; otherwise a { StyleRef "Footer" } would be self-referential. You could also use a REF field (which, being in the footer, would update automatically), but the problem there is that you'd have to bookmark the text in the First Page Footer, and bookmarks are easily overwritten. It seems to me that this is an application that cries out for a UserForm (called by an AutoNew macro) for users to enter the desired text, which would then be placed in the appropriate places.

Suzanne --
OF COURSE!!!! !@#$. I should have thought of that. Thank you. Not quite as simple as I had hoped, but it'll definitely work for the near future. Thanks again. Jim -- JP Cummings "Suzanne S.
