Disabling "Link to Previous"
Is there a way of permanently disabling the "Link to Previous" function so it
does not link the new and previous sections each time a new section is created? So far, I still need to keep clicking on "Link to Previous" right after creating the new section and before changing the headers and footers on either side of the section break, which is time consuming when using mirrored pages with different headers/footers in the odd and even pages. Thanx! |

Disabling "Link to Previous"
That is the default action. But you can create a template in which you have
cleared the Link to Previous setting. Then open a new document from your new template. Note that you don't actually have to keep the document will all the sections created. Once you have set the Page Layout for different first page and different Odds and Evens, add Section Breaks Next Page and got to H&Fs of each to clear the Link setting, then delete the breaks you inserted. The new blank template may only be a single empty page, but Word will still remember your link setting. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "CBTman" wrote in message ...

Disabling "Link to Previous"
Well, to begin with, you don't need to insert section breaks for this
purpose. Instead, check the box for "Different odd and even" on the Layout tab of Page Setup. This will give you an Odd Page Header/Footer and an Even Page Header/Footer; the two are completely independent of each other but (by default) linked to their counterparts in the preceding and following sections. If you still want different content in the various sections, this can often be accomplished (without unlinking) by using a StyleRef field.
