cannot modify footer in word doc
thx for the hints. the problem is not related to the size of the
footer margin, there is sufficient space. i have played around a bit more and found that it is apparently related to the usage of sections (i assume that the correct english term for the german term "Abschnitt") and the feature "hdr/ftr different on first page". i can make the footer appear on the first page of the second section by tinkering with the configuration, but never the intended appearance (footer on all pages of 2nd section with first one different). this sounds a little like document corruption. the instructions for fixing corrupted docs look complicated to me (how do i specify "section break" in find?). i will try nevertheless. /thx for your help Walter |

From the tenor of your post, it sounds as if you are pursuing an existing
thread. If so, it would be better to continue in that thread, quoting the previous material so we can get some idea of what your original problem statement was. -- Suzanne S.

Sounds to me as though you have managed to turn on the First Page Header in your Section (yes, good guess at the English terms), but the final step is to View Headers/Footers and type what you want into the First Page Header (which will be clearly labeled). See for a fuller explanation: http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HeaderFooter.htm If that does not do it, *do* return to your original thread so that we know the whole of the problem, as Suzanne said. this sounds a little like document corruption. the instructions for fixing corrupted docs look complicated to me (how do i specify "section break" in find?). i will try nevertheless. /thx for your help Walter -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://www.word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/ What's an MVP?

Hi, Walter Schwarz;
More Special Section Break; Or, type ^b in the "Find what" box. You will have to be in normal or outline view to see the results. Regards, IanRoy. "Walter Schwarz" wrote: (how do i specify "section break" in find?). |
