Footer/Header to appear only when there is a second page
Hi there,
I'm trying to create a Footer saying "Continued" and the header on the next page to say "Page n Quotation continued" where n is the page number, but only where there is more than one page; if there is only one page I'd like it to be blank. Can this be done? Thank you! John |

yes and no. With judicious use of section breaks and the 'different first
page' and 'different odd/even' settings on File Page Setup Layout, you can create different headers and footers to do what you want. But that said, this is a bad approach. For one thing, readers understand already about turning the page. You don't need to give instructions about that. 'Continued next page' is a stupidity on par with 'this page intentionally left blank'. "Kamitsukenu" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your reply,
You haven't met some of our customers! They're still surprised when we have extra tabs in excel spreadsheets containing "more information".  I take your point, but I am simply trying to recreate an existing, and might I add very poorly laid out document, as it's driving me crazy! So what exactly is a 'section break' and when/how should I use it? "Jezebel" wrote: yes and no.

I can see a solution w/o any section breaks. In your document (template), force Word unto a second page (a temporary page break, or a couple of Return keys will do). In the footer, you insert an IF field that checks if NUMPAGES is larger than 1, and nest in it another IF field that checks whether you are on the last page. If both conditions are true, you show whatever you want it to show. Same thing can be done with the header. Including "Different first page" in File | Page setup will simplify the IF fields a bit.

I have met your customers; in my experience they are never quite as stupid
as those who blame them for their own incompetence. Pandering to your own shortcomings won't make life easier for your readers. If you don't know what a section break is, try "Word for Dummies".

Footer/Header to appear only when there is a second page
Use a First Page Footer and in it place the following field construction:
{ IF { PAGE } { NUMPAGES } "Continued" "" } using Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and Alt+F9 to toggle off the display. Then in the Second page header insert the text tahat you want to appear on that page. -- Hope this helps.

Hi Kamitsukenu,
Have i done something wrong? No, you have not. "Jezebel" is sometimes very rude when dealing with people who don't know as much as s/he expects they should. -- Cindy "Jezebel" wrote: I have met your customers; in my experience they are never quite as stupid as those who blame them for their own incompetence.
