Footers - need last page no footer
I have a simple document with footers on each page, and using the page of
page insert. The last page is an Exhibit and I do not want the footer to show nor do I want the page of page in the previous pages to say page 1 of 7 when actually it is page 1 of 6. How can I correct this? |

Footers - need last page no footer
Insert a section break between the last and next-to-last pages and use a
SectionPages field instead of NumPages for the Y of Page X of Y (press Alt+F9 to display the field code and just edit NUMPAGES to say SECTIONPAGES). Then, in the Section 2 footer, click the Link to Previous/Same as Previous button to turn it off, unlinking that footer from the previous one, and delete the content. -- Suzanne S.

Here's one way (there are others, involving a section break between the main text and the exhibit): When you press Alt+F9 to toggle all field codes, you'll see that your current footer says Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES} First modify the {NUMPAGES} field to display one less than the actual number of pages: Type an equal sign to its left and the expression - 1 to its right: Page {PAGE} of = {NUMPAGES} - 1 Select from the equal sign to the 1 and press Ctrl+F9 to make a field with that text inside: Page {PAGE} of {= {NUMPAGES} - 1} Now surround the whole thing with double quotes, and type to the left of it to make this: IF PAGE = NUMPAGES "" "Page {PAGE} of {= {NUMPAGES} - 1}" Select the word PAGE and press Ctrl+F9 to make it a field; do the same with NUMPAGES. The characters in the middle are two double-quotes with nothing between them. Now you have IF {PAGE} = {NUMPAGES} "" "Page {PAGE} of {= {NUMPAGES} - 1}" Finally, select the whole thing and press Ctrl+F9 once mo {IF {PAGE} = {NUMPAGES} "" "Page {PAGE} of {= {NUMPAGES} - 1}"} Press Alt+F9 to collapse the field codes, and press F9 to update the field. It should behave as you asked. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
