How can section headers/footers be pared back?
Some files have loads of different header/footer sections, so I have such as
[odd page footer - section 10]. I wish all header/footers uniform. Neither [copy/Paste] nor [File Insert] to a new template enforce the new template's header/footer style. Multiple header/footer sections were automatically created when adding column commands to text within the document. Is it simply a case of living with them, using such as [same a previous header/footer] commands to tell Word 07 what is required? |

How can section headers/footers be pared back?
Hi
Multiple header/footer sections were automatically created when adding column commands to text within the document. That's the expected behaviour. Word uses a different section for each part of the document with a different number of columns. That is, you'll always have a section break when you change the number of columns. And, each section has its own first, odd and even header and footer. Yes, use "same as previous" to ensure that all the headers and footers in the document are the same. Hope this helps.

How can section headers/footers be pared back?
The whole thing is screwy, & I suspect that MS have not done their job aright
- one should be able to columnise charts without having to impact headers/footers, and without having lots of dead space between sections. Revamping is throwing wobblies, too. Among other things the file skips two pages in toto - section 7 is p19, immediately followed by section 8 p21. Likewise S9 skips p23 & begins as p23. Trying Inspect Document, I removed headers/footers, checked the results, and found that some relay had been done & pp18 & 20 had been skipped. Did another Inspect Doc, removing Doc. Props & PI, and Custom XML, and found just p18 skipped. OK, it's a complex file, but it's not the first time I've found that sections are easier to insert than remove, and it's a bind to have to forego multiple columns.

Hi
Make sure that every section (a) is set to start on a New Page or (for columns) is Continuous and (b) that each section's page numbering is set to Continue from previous section. You can do that in the UI at File Page Setup and Insert Page Numbers (to avoid actually inserting page numbers, click Close, not OK, to get out of the Page Numbers dialog box). Or, you can do it in code. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Al sections have been "continuous", with no problems with numbering. I guess
my itch for neatness cannot be met other than by wapping out all column commands. This I have done, then inserted file into a new file. I think I'll leave it at this. Not ideal, but this workaround will do till MS rewrites their software. Thanks for your time. All the best. -- Still round the corner there may wait, a new door, or a secret gate...
