Why does 2nd section footer keep picking up the text from 1st one?
I created a report with two sections and each section needs different
copyright footers. The footer keeps coming up with all one copyright instead of two distinct sections. What am I doing wrong? |

Unlink the footers: With the cursor in the second section footer, make
sure you click the Same as Previous button (in some versions of Word I think this button is called Link to Previous) on the Header/Footer toolbar, to disable that setting. Note that if you enabled "Different first page" and Different odd and even" (FilePage SetupLayout tab) you will have three different footers in each section. Each of these footers must be unlinked, unless you want them to have the same contents as those of the preceding section. (Headers are linked in a similar manner to headers of the same type in the previous section, unless unlinked.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "nik995" wrote in message ...

Still not working ... when I unlinked everything the text was still the same
in all 12 pages. It should change at page 9. So frustrating!
