MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / February 2007Automatically change footer?
I did a search, but there were so many footer questions... Is it possible, when creating a template, to have the footer change automatically from one footer (a signature box) when my template is one page to another footer (page 1 of x) when it runs 2 pages? My template is a bid proposal and most of them are one page long. But if it has to be two pages, can word automatically change the footer? Thanks for any help. Yes. You can use a field of this type: { IF { NUMPAGES } > 1 "Footer you want on a 2+-page document" "Footer you want on a one-page document" } If you don't know how to insert these fields, post back.

No I don't know how to insert those fields. Can you tell me how? Thanks for the help! > Yes.

With the selection in the desired place in the footer, hold down the Ctrl key and press F9. That will insert a pair of field delimiters into the Footer { } between them, type IF { IF } With the selection between the F and the closing }, do a Ctrl+F9 again { IF { }} Inside the inner pair of delimiters, type NUMPAGES { IF { NUMPAGES } } Now, type > 1 "Footer you want on a 2+-page document" "Footer you want on a one-page document" between the two closing } }, making sure that you have a space either site of the > Press Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of field codes.

I got it to work, but it's still not what I am looking for. I need the last footer to remain the same whether it's one page, two or three. If my document turns into two or three pages, I need the footer to change to "page 1 of x" or "page 2 of x" and so on. Is this possible? > I typed everything in and get this error message: Error!

Sort of have it working...I didn't type in the ">", but the footer for a two page document is showing up for a one page document. > With the selection in the desired place in the footer, hold down the Ctrl > key and press F9.

Sometimes you have to update the field manually (F9) to see the correct results. Are you saying you want a different footer on page 1 from the other pages? If so, you can enable "Different first page." See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm for more on that. Also note that the TrueText can include *everything* you want to appear in the footer of a multipage document, and the FalseText can include what you want for a single-page document. That is, it doesn't have to be just the part that changes. SignatureSuzanne S.
