Custom Footer

How do I get a cell value to appear in the customized
footer?

Rosemary, you can do it with VBA, something like this
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Range("A1")
or to put it in before the sheet prints use this

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Range("A1")
End Sub

How do I get a cell value to appear in the customized

Hello! This might solve my problem on getting the full
file path into a Header. But, sorry to be dim, how do you
go about doing it with VBA? Write a macro or what? I'm
not a VBA person. Please advise. Many, many thanks!

.

use this,
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
End Sub

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open
the VBA editor, in the left hand window double click on thisworkbook, under
your workbook name, and paste the code in the window that opens on the right
hand side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your
workbook, now this will run every time you print the workbook. If you are
using excel 2000 or newer you may have to change the macro security
settings to get the macro to run. File must be saved first to get the full
name.
