How did the first page footer end up on the third page as well?
Hi, I'm using Word 2000, and I'm trying to understand how someone could have
done this to their document - They created a document with a 'Different First Page' header and footer, and then, on the second page, created a different header footer. When they inserted a break on the second page the First Page footer popped up on the third page. I think they used 'Break before' on a paragraph to insert the break. As i understand it, using Different First Page would only appear on the first page. Having it turn up again seems very weird. Any idea how this could have happened? I've read most of the stuff on the mvp site about section breaks and headers/footers, but I'm obviously missing something here. (and just to make things more fun, the forth page of this document has to be blank - for extra credit (:-), what would have been the best way to have the last page blank? Using the conditional numbering sounds fun, but I don't think this place is ready for that yet :-) Cheers, Caroline. |

Probably by putting a section break (not a page break) between
the second and third pages. "Different first page" applies to the first page of each section.

aha. Thanks. That may well be the case. I'll have to go back and check.
I didn't know that "Different first page" would apply to the first page of each section. That explains perfectly what this document was doing (if i can find the redundant section break, that is!).
