Retain headers and footers when inserting files
Hi,
I'm very familiar with the use of headers and footers, different first page, multiple sections, linking and unlinking etc. so I don't need the basics. I am trying to programmatically (by macro) insert a fax cover sheet into documents (letters or pleadings). Fax and document(s) have their own header/footer (though some may be blank) with different first page. What ever I do doesn't work. Examples a Pasted the doc into the fax cover; Inserted the fax cover into the doc; Even created a new doc with the fax cover, then created a second section with two pages and disconnected the header/footer links, then inserted the doc. No matter what, a header and/or footer format gets lost or the 1st page footer from the fax cover becomes the 2nd page footer of the document and so on. The next test I'm going to try is to (with a macro) capture the text from the first and other header and footer in the doc into variables, insert the fax cover, then open each of the 4 headers/footers in the doc portion, remove the links and paste back in what they had in the first place... Unless someone has another idea. -- Mary Mc |

Retain headers and footers when inserting files
For help with the code, you'd better ask in a programming newsgroup.
But for an explanation of what happens when you paste or insert data that includes section one or more section breaks, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...thSections.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mary Mc" wrote in message ...

Retain headers and footers when inserting files
Thank you, Stefan! You saved me hours. I would have eventually gotten to
those solutions, but I would have fought it the whole way and pretended "surely I don't have to do 'that'!?" Convoluted as the solution is (when you want to remove that extra section break), it makes sense with how Word works. Just gotta do it... Thank you again! -- Mary Mc "Stefan Blom" wrote: For help with the code, you'd better ask in a programming newsgroup.
