Printing footer on last page of section only

[Claudia]

I followed the instructions at the MVP website for using
an IF code to get a footer to print only on the last
page. Neat trick! However, what I need to do is get a
footer to print on the last page of each section. Is there
a way to do this? (I have Word 2003, and am running it on
XP Professional OS.)

Use a SectionPages field instead of a NumPages field in your IF field.

Try:
{ IF { PAGE } = { SECTIONPAGES }{ PAGE } }

Charles and Greg - it doesn't work to use SectionPages
instead of NumPages on any but the first section. On the
subsequent sections, the footer simply disappears
altogether and shows up nowhere when Field Codes are
turned off for view in Options. I'm wondering if I can
somehow specify in the field the number of the section. I
thought Word knows the SectionPages field code is the
*current* field code...?

Claudia,

Works fine here. Is your section page numbering set to
restart at 1 with each section?

Try:
{IF {PAGE} = {SECTIONPAGES}"Print this text" }

Thanks, that worked!
