Disable header & footer on multiple pages
I have our letterhead setup with a header and footer. Any of our staff can
put that file on their desktop as a shortcut and use it to create letters. What is happening is that the header and footer on a one page letter is fine. BUT, when the letter is 2, 3 or 4 pages long, the header and footer keep printing on those pages as well. Is there no way to "disable" on the header and footer on page 2, 3, and 4? I've tried using Section breaks but I am obviously doing something wrong because it still prints on pages 2, 3, and 4. Thanks! -- Terrie A. |

Disable header & footer on multiple pages
The part you are missing is to disable the "Link to Previous" part of
the section break. In the letterhead I did for our office, I setup the letterhead so that "Different First Page" was how the section was formatted. A trick is to create your document and then put in a manual page break - format the second page header and footer the way you would if you actually had more than two pages. Then delete the manual page break. The formatting for the headers and footers on the now "hidden" pages will be retained in your template which will make it easier for your users. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Disable header & footer on multiple pages
I can't get that to work...... I created page one with a header and footer.
I added Section 2, Section 3, Section 4 so on the screen when I call up that document, it shows page one with the header and footer and then nothing on pages 2,3,4. But as you start to type on page one and fill that page, when it rolls to page 2, it repeats the header / footer from page one. I do not have Section 2 linked to previous and I selected new page and from this section foward. Then I linked Section 3 to previous and Section 4 to previous. -- Terrie A.

Disable header & footer on multiple pages
Terrie -
When you are typing you are creating additional pages in the same section. So you need to make sure that Section 1 has "Different First Page" set and then the second page header is the way you want it. That's why I suggested that you use a Manual page break rather than section breaks. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.
