Many sections, headers and footers keep on changing
I have a document over 300 pages long and every so many pages starts a new
section and therefor a new heading and footer. Header and footer have to match each other, i.e., header: exhibit 31, footer: exhibit 31. Since I have a very long document some how the header reads one way and the footer another, i.e., exhibit 31, and the footer will show: exhibit 32, and it occurs throughout the entire document. I have about 50 exhibits, have to have them all together. The numbers are typed in, no automatic numbering, but even so the headers or footers change as if the section break did not apply to both header and footer. If you have experienced something like this and know how to avoid this please help me. Ariana |

Make sure that all your section breaks are "Next page," not "Continuous."
Also, if the exhibit number is somewhere on the page, you can use a StyleRef field in the header and fooder and not need any section breaks at all. -- Suzanne S.

If you cannot use the StyleRef field, make sure that headers and
footers are unlinked: On the Header/Footer toolbar, de-activate the Same as Previous/Link to Previous button (the names depends on which version of Word you are using). Note that a document can have up to three headers (and three footers) per section, namely, if "Different first page" and "Different odd and even" are both checked in File | Page Setup. And the linking of headers (footers) must be turned off for each type of header (footer) separately.
