Headers' Link to previous are killing me
Hi. I'm doing a complex Word 2003 document, facing pages,
different Headers & Footers with changes at almost each section. If I need to edit, particularly if I insert a one-page section in the middle of the document, Word automatically messes up all subsequent H&F by moving them from a left to a right page and linking all of them to the previous section (I had previously disabled each individual one manually). Anybody know of a way to permanently disable this horrible "Let me do it for you" feature? Alternatively, do any of you know how to insert a 1 or 2 page section AND get Word to simply cascade all subsequent H&Fs correctly? Maybe there's a trick here I don't know about? Thanks Francois |

I found this article (there was a link here) on Working
with sections by Dave Rado giving some clues on overriding the problem: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...thSections.htm I am however still looking at some way to permanently disable this "Link to previous feature" if this is at all possible.

Hi Francois,
I found this article (there was a link here) on Working with sections by Dave Rado giving some clues on overriding the problem: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...thSections.htm I am however still looking at some way to permanently disable this "Link to previous feature" if this is at all possible. I don't think it's possible.

The workaround would be a macro that inserts a new section with the headers
and footers set to unlinked, and using that instead of Insert | Section Break. If you confirm you are still around, I can probably dig out a macro someone else wrote, although the code was not that complex, if I remember correctly.

Like:
Dim arange As Range Set arange = ActiveDocument.Range arange.Collapse wdCollapseEnd arange.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage With ActiveDocument.Sections(ActiveDocument.Sections.Co unt) .Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).LinkToPrevious = False .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).LinkToPrevious = False .Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).LinkToPrevious = False .Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).LinkToPrevious = False End With -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Well, yes, it was your macro I was going to dig out, though I think a less
comprehensive one. I was having problems finding it anyhow. Thanks very much, I'll save this one as well.
