Creating a manual - how to implement page changes
Greetings. We have a Company Operations Manual. Often we have updates of a
few pages, including the TOC. We use the header/footer to indicate the revision date of the pages. Unfortunately it does it for all pages and if we need to update one page, we are forced to change the header/footer for all the pages in the section, unless we create a new section for every page change. This would make a huge headache. Publisher seems to do this fine with it's "Master" page option. Does Word have a feature like this or is there a solution to our problem? Thanks. |

Creating a manual - how to implement page changes
That's what I was afraid of. Microsoft Publisher does it with a "Master" page
that would do the trick, but it fails miserably when attempting to use a numbered list. Oh well, guess section breaks will have to do. Thanks for the help. John "Stefan Blom" wrote: In Word, you need section breaks to change the header and/or footer for a single page. It won't be easy to maintain, as you've already noticed. I guess you could experiment with a text box anchored to a paragraph on the page but positioned so that it appears to be in the header area. However, this is probably no more easy than using (a lot of) section breaks. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "John G" John wrote in message ... Greetings. We have a Company Operations Manual.

You could put the date in a text box that is anchored on the changed page but
placed in the margin area. Pam John G wrote: That's what I was afraid of.

That was exactly what I suggested too. :-)
