Different footer on each page
Hi,
I'd like to be able to put a revision date on the bottom of any page that I change. It seems like a footer is the right place for it. However this would force me to put each page in its own section - I think. I can put the date in manually, but I don't want it to propogate to other pages. Is there any sensible way to do this? Art |

Hi ?B?QXJ0?=,
I'd like to be able to put a revision date on the bottom of any page that I change. It seems like a footer is the right place for it. However this would force me to put each page in its own section - I think. I can put the date in manually, but I don't want it to propogate to other pages. Is there any sensible way to do this? Place a frame (from the Forms toolbar) or a textbox at the bottom of each page. Make sure it's anchored to some paragraph more or less in the middle of the page, so that it doesn't slip as quickly to another page when you're editing larger blocks of text.

Cindy,
I think I would fix a frame vertically and horizontally relative to page and create and AutoText entry. This way you could repeat it accurately on each page. Or at least I think this works based on very limited testing. Greg Cindy M. wrote: Hi ?B?QXJ0?=, I'd like to be able to put a revision date on the bottom of any page that I change.

Cindy,
Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, though, in reading your suggestion I realized that there is the potential for real problems in what I was planning. Actually I'm doing this on behalf of a user in my company -- I'll check and see if she's open to dating entire sections rather than individual pages. Thanks again, your suggestion helped put this in perspective. Art "Cindy M." wrote: Hi ?B?QXJ0?=, I'd like to be able to put a revision date on the bottom of any page that I change.

Hi Art,
in reading your suggestion I realized that there is the potential for real problems in what I was planning. Yep :-) I was hoping you'd notice that. Something like this can work if it's one person, who knows the dangers. But on a large scale...
