MSWord 2003-delinking "Same as Previous: in Footer as default sett

[rwilenker]

Is there a way to delink the "Same as Previous" feature (in my template) for
the Footer (while leaving the Header linked) and apply this new setting as
the default when inserting a next page Section Break?

 

[Stefan Blom]

No, whenever you add a section in the user interface, headers and
footers are linked by default.

What you can do is create a macro (or ask for one in a programming
newsgroup) that does this for you.

But why do you want to unlink the footers? Depending on what you are
trying to accomplish, you may not have to.

You could certainly do it with vba eg

Dim strView As String
strView = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage
ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = True
ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageFooter
Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False
ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
ActiveWindow.View.Type = strView
