Hi Carol,
I appreciate your thoughts.

Answer: because the letters here need to be a part of the document rather
than separate documents. The flow of the patient file looks like:
first appointment 7-1-05
telephone appointment 8-1-05
2nd appt 9-1-05
letter to patient 10-01-05
letter to specialist 11-01-05
3rd appt 12-01-05, .....

Is it possible to make separate document for each and every service for each
patient? Yes, but it would be at great cost and complexity and loss of
efficiency.

So, ... I seek to make multisection headers and footers work. Currently I
am checking out Charles Kenyon's website ideas . So I am trying even and
odd page headers to see if that will resolve my problems of just having
different first page header-footers.

Why not read Suzanne's article regarding letterhead and you can create a
template and a macro to invoke it.

Hi Carol and all,
Actually, I am a developer for electronic medical records, based on Word.
Each patient has a file dedicated to them. In years past, I have used
"work arounds" that avoid the complexities of Word's headers and sections
so as not to confuse users. Some users however are interested in using
and preserving section breaks and headers unchanged in patient files.
So, once again, I have dived into the deep end.

I am seeking to have a single macro that adds a "traditional letter
format."

You know, after re-reading your post, it sounds as if you want to
create a
template for a multiple page letterhead or something of that nature.
Is that
indeed what you're trying to do? If so, see:

Hi All,

I think it would be useful to have a button on the headers footers
toolbar,
that automatically creates a new section with different first pages
for
headers and footers with pagination starting on the 2nd page, and
moving the
user to enter the new header and footer. Does anyone here have code
that
will perform this?

What are the 10 most common problems in using headers and footers
when
using different first pages? For 10 years I've recommended that
users
avoid them unless they have to. I spent another several hours this
morning trying to learn how to get the section headers not to

insert section page break at bottom of file

insert hard Page so you can have a nonfirst page header

view header

break link

page setup different first page

go to footer and break link

go to page format, break link, select start at new page number 1

go back to header

make sure you're in current section NOT first page, break link if it
changed back on you

insert your non-first page header

move to first page header make sure it's empty

go to prior section, make sure it's not been linked to later
section's
headers,

then do the same whole sequence for the footers

ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO BREAK THE LINK EACH TIME YOU ENTER A HEADER
OR
FOOTER BOX BEFORE ANY TEXT ENTRY. Any text entry seems to replace
the
prior sections headers instantly.

YOU CANNOT PLACE A HEADER FOR NON-FIRST PAGE HEADERS UNTIL AFTER YOU
MAKE
A SECOND PAGE.
