AskWoody LoungerDepending on how many pages, you could use a section break for each page and then you would have a new footer for each page. You would have to make sure Different First Page is UNchecked.

AskWoody LoungerIf it’s an odd/even footer, then you would use the odd/even feature under Page Setup. Are you hoping to get a footer for each column? If that’s it, you might try a table, but I can’t imagine how the page numbering would work.
If you could post a document with specifics, I’d be happy to look at it.

AskWoody LoungerWell, I tried the “Recover Text from any file” and received garbage for a document. I was able to read my name and the version of Word, but I would be unable to “salvage” anything meaningful.

AskWoody LoungerNovember 27, 2001 at 8:58 pm in reply to: Help!!! Page Numbering Multiple Sections (Word 2000) #1793373Presuming that your numbering starts at 1 and continues consecutively through to the end, the section breaks shouldn’t cause any problems. Having said that — is section one set for Different First Page? (under Page Setup, the Layout tab) If so, that attribute may have continued throughout the document. If your page 1 doesn’t have a number, you’ll have to go to the second section and check that different first page is NOT checked. You will also want to turn off Continue from Previous section in the footer for section 2. It should be ok to have it on for section 2 on, since the page numbers will be “continuous”.
Hope this helps.

AskWoody LoungerI am assuming you are referring to the Mac Office 2001. I have been sucessfully using documents from my Mac and my PC on each other for years.
The following Technet article might be helpful:

AskWoody LoungerI was able to change the font to 10.5. What number/decimal were you trying and were you going to the drop-down box on the toolbar or were you going to Format > Font?

AskWoody LoungerHave you thought about another template that would act as a global template that has the autotext entries in it? You would still have to copy them in once. Then the trick will be to store any new autotext entries you want to share in “that” template (since Word looks to normal.dot by default).

AskWoody LoungerOctober 23, 2001 at 1:42 pm in reply to: Problem with a Courier New 10 pt font (Word 2000 SR-1) #548100Ann:
I didn’t have a problem with printing it on an HP 4000. You might want to make sure you are using the most recent printer driver.
Also, you should redefine the Normal to be Courier New (instead of Times New Roman) along with the appropriate font size (10 or 12).
Hope this helps.

AskWoody LoungerIt sounds like they have turned on Navigation keys for WordPerfect. Go to Tools > Options > General, and see if the last item is checked. If so, uncheck it.
Hope this helps.
