MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / September 2007Removing a footer from the last page in a document template
Hi - I am using Word 2003 I am trying to design a Will template (dot). The Will has a footer (signing clause) on the bottom of each page, but does not need one on the last page (where there is an attestation clause). I know how to remove the footer from the last page manually, but wanted to make it easy for the client so that it would happen automatically. What is the best way to design a template for this to happen with a click of a button? I designed a macro entitled "remove footer" but when I click on the macro button assigned to it, it removes all the footers. Any ideas? Thanks Caroline Caroline, See my tips page on conditional headers and footers. http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Conditional_Headers_Footers.htm  SignatureGreg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. > Hi - I am using Word 2003 > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Thanks > Caroline Why don't you put a Continuous Section Break just before the attestation clause, then put a Different Footer (apply to this section only) on the last page; and be sure to set the Signing Footer to (apply to this section only) on the previous pages. Post back -- I'll be wanting to do a Will template of my own in not too long. (What state is yours for, by the way?)

And, if anything gets added to the last section, it could span 3 or more pages. That'll give two or more un-footered pages. Even if you leave the last section empty, you could run into problems. Since the last section must at least have one paragraph, that para could end up on a new page all by itself. Then you could have the last 'real' page numbered and an unwanted 'last' page.

What mind of information. However, I'm having trouble with that conditional footer as the My Footer Text is a table (where people sign) and not really sure how to put this inside the quotes. Sorry if I'm being thick, but am new to the IF command. Also, am I meant to put the IF field command by going Insert Field IF and then typing in that box, or can I do all of this in the footer? Eternally grateful...yours...Caroline You just copy/paste it in. You can paste anything into such a field. SignatureSuzanne S.
