MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2008Footer only on last page
Using Word 2003. I am trying to put a footer only on my last page--or a different footer on my last page. I put a continuous section break at the very end of my document. It shows up in the document but when I click the "go to next section" button in the footer, there is only sec 1. I want to have page numbers on all the pages but a page number and file name in the footer of only the last page. > Using Word 2003.

An IF field will do: {IF {PAGE}={NUMPAGES} "{FILENAME}" ""} If you do this manually, make sure to insert all {} pairs by doing CTRL-F9. The IF field translates as: {IF {Current Page Number} = {Total Number of Pages in Document} then "{Insert Filename}" otherwise "insert nothing"} Where do I put that code? I put it directly into the footer and then did Alt F9 to see the result and had nothing. I did use the Ctrl F9 for the brackets. When I printed it, I got the written code. Thanks > > Using Word 2003.

When you did ALT-F9, you displayed Field codes, you had to do it a second time to toggle back to field values. After you entered the field codes as I suggested, all you needed to do was select the IF field and do SHIFT-F9 to toggle back to field value for this field only, not the whole document as ALT-F9 does. Thereafter, all you need to do is hit F9 while having a field selected to update it. Generally, when you print, it updates all fields, unless you deactivate that option. Since it worked, you must have hit ALT-F9 as second time before printing.
