Styleref field in footer showing next page data
I have a styleref field in my footer to show the content from a character
style of a paragraph. Each section that should have the footer is sometimes more than one page long. This works fine, except for the last page of a section before the next instance of that style. Then Word displays the following page's data rather than the previous one. For example, I want pages 1-5 to say "Section 1", and pages 6-10 to say "Section 2". Instead, only pages 1-4 say "Section1", and pages 5-10 say "Section 2". Does anyone have any ideas why Word would behave this way? -- Brenda Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor |

I suspect you have a manual page break rather than using paragraph
formatting of page break before. (A next page section break might also cause this, not sure.) Page breaks are contained within the following paragraph, they don't start a new paragraph.) -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
