Hi,

I'm using Word 2007.
I have a template set up with merge fields that are of variable length. I
have a different 1st page header/footer.
I need to print "Continued on page 2" on the 1st page when a mailmerge letter
goes to two pages. I have tried the following variations in the footer but
cannot get the message to print:

{ if {SECTIONPage} = "1" "" "Continued Next Page" }

{ if {SECTIONPage} = 1 "" "Continued Next Page" }

{ if {SECTIONPage} = "2" "Continued Next Page" "" }

{ if {PAGE} {SECTIONPage} "Continued Next Page" "" }

...and a few more variations.

My last attempt was to create a bookmark on the signature line of the letter
and put the following in the footer: { if {PAGEREF signature} = "2"
"Continued Next Page" "" }

Nothing has worked. Do if statements work in the footer? Can anyone help me
with how to conditionally print something in the footer?

Thanks.
