Hi all,

We have a situation with a letter that’s generated from one of our InfoPath
forms. The letter needs to have a rather lengthy (will more than 255
characters) footer printed on the bottom of the last page of the document
only. We use a small font in the footer (Bookman Old Style, 6 point). This
criteria is specified from the President of the company. Problem is, of
course, that the InfoPath footer function won’t accommodate these parameters.
I believe the max characters in the footer can only be 255, the minimum font
size available is 8 point, and the footer prints on all pages (no options
available, similar to Microsoft Word).

Does anyone know of a way that we can make a footer appear only on the last
page of the document with a character count of over 255, and with a font size
of 6?

Thanks much,

Kent in Anchorage

The footer information is stored in the manifest.xsf file, not the view XSL.
Because of this, I am not sure if there is an easy way of making it print on
the last page only. However, you should be able to achieve the other two
goals by manually editing the XSF, locating the <xsf:footer> tag and
replacing its contents. For example:

<font style="font: 6pt Verdana;">your_long_text_here, don't forget <BR/> to
break it into multiple lines</font>

Thanks David. This is certainly helpful and we'll give it a try.
