Use A Section Format More Than Once
Is there a way to continue using a section format for another section further
down in your document? I have a long report that contains large pictures that must be orientated Landscape where the rest of the document is orientated Portrait. Our customer insists on orientating the whole page differently, ie including headers and footers. I have therefore created sections with different formats. Problem is it keeps alternating back and forth, and I have to reformat the section manually each time. Is there a way to assign a particular section format to certain sections? Failing that, is there a way to quickly copy a sections format to another section? Thanks for the help, Graham |

For reference see:
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...onscontent.htm Also for the Lanscape sections see: See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...apeSection.htm. You could use the AutoText function to solve your copy format issue, ie create the section with all its formating and sections breaks (ie before and after), select these and create an Autotext for this. For more on AutoText, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm.

I believe you can also copy and paste section breaks or their formatting
(using Ctrl+Shift+C, Ctrl+Shift+V). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "DeanH" wrote in message ...
