footers in Word
Using MS Word from Office 2000. Want to change data in footer to distinguish
different changes made to a document, e.g., annotate some pages as derived from change 1 to the document and other pages as change 2 to the document. Change 1 or change 2 can affect any of the pages in no particular sequence, and be interspersed throughout the document. believe it's not practical/desirable to insert section breaks everywhere the document has been changed - as usually done to modify footer info. how else to do it? |

You might investigate the StyleRef field to see if it might do what you
want. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks. I can use styleref to input a "styled" response field, as you
suggest. But the dilemma comes from where the field/change reference needs to be placed, i.e., in the footer. Believe that's where it remains until/unless I insert another section break to remove "Change 1" from the footer or re-enter it as "Change 2", etc. And inserting all those section breaks is what I'd like to avoid, being somewhat awkward with the many changed pages that I have to deal with. Any way around the "change via section break" scenario? The term "Change x" needs to appear in the footer adjacent to the page number, that is also inserted/calculated in the footer. Inserting the data is easy. Making it go away or be something else is what I can't do easily. "Suzanne S.

The idea of the StyleRef field is that you put a paragraph on the page in a
given style, and whatever appears in that style on a given page shows up in the footer. So you put "Change 1" somewhere on the page, and it appears in the footer. For pages with no change, you insert an empty paragraph in the given style. -- Suzanne S.

So that's what you meant. Thanks. Never inserted a field before, so i'm
having a bit of difficulty inserting StyleRef in the proper manner. On-line help not helping me much, but I'll keep trying. The style I need to use is hidden text style, so that "change 1" doesn't actually show up anywhere except in the footer. Hope that's workable. "Suzanne S.

Unfortunately, "Hidden" is the one font property that the StyleRef field
*does* pick up (this is very frustrating and may be corrected in a future version). But you can use Font Color: White and Font Size: 1 pt. -- Suzanne S.

Pretty sneaky! I'll try that. Still not doing it right when I try to insert
the StyleRef field. "Suzanne S.
