OK, there are all kinds of workarounds -- including the very sloppy one
involving the white rectangle -- what if your publication's paper isn't
necessarily white, or of one color?
Never mind -- my point is, the single-master, two-section method I used,
where each section's "show H/F's on the first page" checkbox is UNchecked,
works on the screen, but not the printer. That's not WYSIWYG, and that's a
*BUG*. Fine, I can work around it, but I also want to report this *BUG* for
the benefit of others doing more serious work -- that's what a bug report is
for, and that's why I wrote the subject line as such.
I can't believe it's so hard to report bugs to Microsoft, but I've reported
this *BUG* twice at the feedback link you gave me, and I can't find either
report anywhere to give Rob Giordano the link. I have to assume this *BUG*
exists in 2007 and 2010, but I don't have either one. If you have them, and
since you've taken the trouble to look at my pub, would you kindly see if
display matches printout in each, and then would you report this *BUG* so Rob
can find it?

I took a look at your publication. The problem seems to be the "Dancing Fairies"
across the top. You are putting the phrase on the Master Page along with the
page numbers. If you simply used your Dancing Fairies phrase without the page
numbers you'd have your correct print. Use two Master Pages, one for the cover &
back and the other for the center pages.
In earlier versions of Publisher we didn't have the luxury of multiple master
pages. We always advise creating a line-less white box over the page numbers
that didn't need printed.

It's not there! I searched for all the keywords I could think of: "headers"
"footers" "suppress" "all four pages", "robynleesmith", etc., etc.
I had copied and pasted my original post here when I submitted the feedback
-- it's simply not there. I'm going to do it again, but if you want to
confirm the bug, please see the links below. Easiest is to open the pub,
view it on the screen, then print to a PDF.

Great -- I submitted the report for 2007 under the assumption it's a bug
there too. I also rated Yes your two posts which told me about Ignore
Master
Page and feedback.office.microsoft.com.

The Connect site is busily Beta testing 2010, I couldn't find the

I think all the bug feedbacks for Office 2007 is closed.

OK, I signed in. There are some Publisher bugs, but it doesn't show
what
Connection they're on. In the Office category there's nothing to do
with
Publisher, or Word, or Excel, or Access, or Powerpoint. I pull down
Add New
Connection and it does nothing. And there's no link to create any
message
anywhere. All I can do is read stuff.

No, but I'm signed in to MSDN. Once I get one, then what -- does
this lead
to bug-reporting?

OK, page by page I can tell it to ignore the master, so when I do
that
on
pages 1 and 4 no H/F's appear.
But my point is, I've found a BUG. I shouldn't have to do Ignore
Master
Page when I've already UNchecked the Show-H/F's-On-First-Page
checkbox
on
each of the two sections, whose first pages are 1 and 4. Again,
the
screen
is correct, but the printout is not.
*** This is a BUG. It should be reported. How do I report this?
***
Here's the pub:
http://home.comcast.net/~robynleesmi...ingFairies.pub
Here's the PDF:
http://home.comcast.net/~robynleesmi...ingFairies.pdf
There is no Ignore Master Page setting on any page, so you can
see the
BUG.

That takes care of page 4 -- should I have a third master just
for
page
1?
The bottom line is, the display is what I want, but the
printout
isn't,
and
that's a bug. Do you know how/where/to whom to report it?

With your scenario you should apply a created Master Page B

There

I have a four-page book-layout document, which therefore
prints on
two
sides
of one piece of paper, which I then fold in half. It has
one
two-page
master
with facing headers and footers, and two sections, the
second
beginning
on
page 4, the last page.
In both sections I have UNchecked the box saying "Show
headers and
footers
in the first page", because the first page is the front
cover, and
the
fourth
page is the back cover. When I click the four page icons
in the
lower
left,
the screen correctly shows page 1 without H/F's, then pages
2-3
with
properly
facing H/Fs, then page 4 blank.
However, when I print it, H/F's appear on all four pages.
This is
neither
WYSIWYG nor WYSIWYW (what you see is what you Want).
*** This is a BUG, Redmond! ***
Has anyone else seen this? And how do I report it to
Microsoft?
I'll
send
this book to anyone interested -- it's written and
illustrated by
my
six-year-old daughter, so it's not exactly copyrighted
material
full
of
company or government secrets...
