Section Breaks, Footers & Page Numbers (ASAP!!!)
I have a document "template" with a cover page, table of contents, summary
and the main body of the document. Right now the way the template is set up is that we copy and paste new information onto an old document that is formatted the way we want--"templated". I would like to put a certain type of page # formatting on the table of contents and summary page (i, ii, iii) and a different type of page # formatting on the rest of the document (1, 2, 3), and have no page # on the cover page. I have tried to use section breaks in the document to do that. But even when I create a section break in the document, and it labels the footer as "Section 1" or "Section 2", it does not apply to the footer. In other words, if I change the formatting in the footer for section 1, it ends up applying to all the footers. Is there not a way to separate the formatting in the footers other than the standard "Dif First Page", "Dif Odd Page" or "Dif Even Page" ? Is there another way to accomplish what I need? |

On the Header and Footer Toolbar, there is a button to unlink the
Header/Footer from that in the previous Section. You need to use that. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
