Footers & continuous section breaks

[djb]

Greetings

I am using document automation software to assemble legal documents.

One of the templates requires a footer on all pages except the final
2; however, the final page requires a section page break to establish
column formatting.

Because of the way the documents are built there is no way of saying
how long a document will be before it is assembled.

What I have done is inserted a continuous section break at a point
that will always go on the second to last page, broken the same as
previous link and deleted the footer.

In the template it appears that the footer is not present on both
pages - however, when the document assembles the footer always appears
on the second to last page.

My question - in theory should I be able to get this to work? If so,
is the problem more likely related to the assembling process, or am I
likely messing up the section and footer thing?

Many thanks

Deborah

Are you using 'different first page' in the final section? Or 'different odd
and even' pages? If so you will have more than one footer in that final
section - you'll either need to turn off 'different first page' for that
section or, if your document is different odd and even, provide footers for
both odd and even pages.
