Page Footers and Landscape
I wonder if anyone can provide some guidance on this question: We have
a document with page footers containing page numbers. One page is landscape mode. Requirements for a bound thesis is for the page numbers to all be on the bottom of the page. When the page is landscape it's not on the bottom when you consider how the book is bound. Can anyone suggest a way to get the page number to appear on what would be the left side margin (when you turn the book to read that page)? |

We followed the instructions on your suggested page and have had some luck. But we need to do this for several sections of the document. In one section it worked fine. In the other section, it went haywire - put the page number on the side of every page in the document. I don't understand what we may have done wrong. |

Did you remember to unlink the section?

Next step is to try to put in all the pages and data. Seems adding each section as we go causes errors. I wonder if there is a bug somewhere. Anyway, the steps are clear and the sections are unlinked and it works. Then in a new section is gets crazy. |

In Word, each time you add a section, you will have to unlink headers and footers (because headers and footers are linked by default in Word). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |

But when we look at the footer, it's doesn't have the 'Link to Previous' note showing. |

Note that each section can have up to three separate footers (and headers), namely, if "Different odd and even" and "Different first page" are both checked in Page Setup. And each footer (header) must be unlinked separately; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |
