Excluding a footer on certain pages?

T

Troy Bruder

Hello,

Is there a way to exclude certain pages within a document from receiving the
common FOOTER? We have a footer that contains certain signature
information... It is required on MOST pages, but not ALL pages... Is it
possible to exclude the footer on certain pages, or do I need to redesign my
page layouts?

Troy,

It's possible and the best method would depend on what
pages you want to exclude.

You can use File>Page Setup>Layout to specify different
first page, different odd and even header/footers for each
document section.

You can use section breaks. Each section can have
independent first page, odd, and even page header/footers.

You can use conditional IF fields. For example, the
following field located in the footer will put footer text
on all pages numbered less than 5 and on page 9.

{ IF {PAGE} < 5 “Your footer text” { IF {PAGE} = 9 “Your
footer text” } }

Follow up question on this....

If I want to have a first page in a document with no
header/footer and I want the second page in the document
to be numbered "1 of xx" and then carry forward, how do I
do this?

Right now, the second page (first page of my document w/
header/footer)says "2 of xx".

Thanks,
Doug

Doug,

Go into the footer. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click the 'Format
Page Number' button. Set page numbering to start at 0 instead of 1.

Thanks Chad... in doing this, now my "second" page will
read "1 of 7" in my seven page document. I want the first
page to be invisible in the scheme of the document, so
only the last six of the seven pages have the footer,
reading "1 of 6", "2 of 6" etc. If the document became
eight pages, it should read "1 of 7". Is this possible?

Thanks,
Doug

If you don't have any other section breaks in the document, you can insert a
section break between pages 1 and 2 and use the Section Pages field instead
of NumPages for the Y of Page X of Y.
