Headers
Seems as if everybody needs header info lately. Me, too!
You wonderful people have taught me so much that by now I shouldn't have to ask this question. However -- I've been working on a document in which I need to have different headers on odd and even pages (i.e., "Buying and Selling" on odd and "Formbook blah blah" on even. Somehow my several attempts have not succeeded. Could one of you geniuses get me back on the right track? I really appreciate your help now and in the past. You'd be proud if you knew how much of it I've used successfully! A million thanks! |

Headers
Have you enabled "Different odd and even" for headers and footers? This will
give you a separate Odd Page Header/Footer and Even Page Header/Footer. For more on headers and footers, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, I guess I was just overthinking the situation to the point that I
forgot that such a simple solution existed. And as you've done many times before, you came to my rescue. I've been reading and practicing a lot lately about page numbering with field codes for different situations, and drove myself crazy trying to go in that direction to accomplish this. You'd probably die laughing if you could see some of my failed attempts--how complicated they looked and how miserably they failed! Thanks once more, Suzanne! "Suzanne S.

It is always such a relief to find that a simple solution exists, and it can
be embarrassing to realize one has overlooked it. After years of sending people to my article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CombineXrefs.htm, which described the only way I knew of to combine cross-references (a very kludgy workaround that I certainly didn't invent but was pleased to have found), I was flabbergasted when "macropod" calmly pointed out a much simpler solution, which I have now incorporated in the article. I am not beating myself up over "overlooking" that solution, but I do find it hard to understand why it had never surfaced in the NGs before. -- Suzanne S.
