Syntax Problem with footer on last page
Hi,
I am trying to get a different footer on my last page. I have inserted; IF {PAGE} = {NUMPAGES} "Last Page" "Not Last Page" into the footer having pressed ,ctrl.F9. But is says "Not Last Page" for all 3 pages in my simple test document. Curiously, if I take the single space either side of the "=" sign, then it changes to "Last Page" for all 3 pages. As I mentioned, it is a simple test document, with no section breaks or anything, so any other trouble-shooting advice gratefully received. Hardy |

Syntax Problem with footer on last page
Did you insert both { PAGE } and { NUMPAGES } as fields as well?

No! Aha! That's the solution. I thought manually doing the brackets
would have worked and didn't realise had to do ctrl F9 for those as well. Thanks v. much for your help! On 19 Dec, 23:44, "Suzanne S.

Syntax Problem with footer on last page
But is it possible to replace "Last Page" with a graphic? I've tried
various ways of doing this, but not worked. I am sure I read somewhere else on here that this is possible. On 20 Dec, 07:54, Hardy wrote: No! Aha! That's the solution.

Yes of course. You can insert just about anything between the quotes instead
of 'last page' or 'not last page', including your graphic. Don't forget to update the field after editing it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Hardy wrote: But is it possible to replace "Last Page" with a graphic?

You can also use the Insert Page Number and Insert Number of Pages buttons
on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert these fields. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Hardy" wrote in message ... No! Aha! That's the solution.

Syntax Problem with footer on last page
Graphics can always be a bit of a problem. One way to deal with inserting a
graphic in a field is to save the graphic as an AutoText entry and then insert the AutoText entry (or an AutoText field) in the IF field. If the problem is with placement of the graphic, it's possible that adding a \* MERGEFORMAT switch would help, as it would (theoretically) preserve any formatting you applied to the graphic after inserting it in the field. -- Suzanne S.
