Hey all,
Maybe I'm not understanding the how the if statement works completely in Word.
I am trying to create a template that will insert a disclosure on the footer
of thelast page of a memo - The memo can be one or more pages.
Could someone help me write the IF statement that would go in the footer to
put a certain line of verbiage on the last page of a document whether it is
one or more pages?
Please!

{ IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "Replace this with the disclosure text" "" }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { } and Alt+F9 to toggle
off the display of field codes.

Hope this helps.

In the footer, place the following field {IF {PAGE} = {NUMPAGES}"Your

I must be doing something wrong because when I do this all I see at the
bottom of all the pages is "PAGE"
Does this only work in Word 2003?

No, it works in all versions of Word back at least as far as Word 95.

Did you use Ctrl+F9 as instructed in my response to insert the field
delimiters { }

Yes it works in Word 2003. Are you entering all pairs of field codes with
CTRL+F9?

Press Alt+F9 to switch between display of field codes (what you
see now) and field results.

No. I'm still having some problems here.
Let me take you step by step of what I'm doing because all I see is the word
"PAGE" at the bottom of the document and I can't figure it out.

Open new doc
View\Header Footer
Click on Footer
Cntrl + F9
Cntrl + V to paste IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "Replace this with the
disclosure text" ""
Alt + F9
Print Preview

Am I still doing something wrong?
