Section Breaks - separate headers/footers
I'm preparing an 840-page spec that must have pages
numbered consecutively in the footer(Page 1 of 840), but headers must be different from section to section. The first 65 pages may refer to "Section 1: Doors", the next 40 pages to "Section 2: Windows", and so on. Is there a section break that will allow headers to change but footers to remain constant across a section break? Losing my hair..... Thanks! Susan |

Section Breaks - separate headers/footers
You don't need a section break for this, just a StyleRef field. Assume that
you have, in the body of your document "Section 1: Doors" formatted using the Heading 1 style. The next use of the Heading 1 style is "Section 2: Windows." The field { StyleRef "Heading 1" \* CharFormat } will duplicate that text in your header and change when the next heading 1 comes along. See the StyleRef and TextBoxes tutorial at http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm. For more on headers and footers and sections see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/sections.htm. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Charles answered your question, but keep in mind that you don't necessarily need section breaks to change headers and footers, and that when using sections breaks, headers and footers can be unlinked separately.

Section Breaks - separate headers/footers
Can't wait to try this out....along w/reading some of your
suggested documentation below your sigt. Just when I think I know something, a challenge like this comes along to show me how much more I have to learn. Thanks, both of you!

Section Breaks - separate headers/footers
You can find it in help looking for "dictionary-style" I think. Almost
everything is in help, if only you knew where to look. But then, if you knew where to look, you probably wouldn't need the help! -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
