New section header 'Same as Previous' - can default be changed PEVA 21.02.2006 18:11:28 Can the default for new section headers and footers be changed to be *not* 'Same as previous'? (I know how to turn 'Same as Previous' off once the section is created - how do I change the default for newly created sections?)

Re: New section header 'Same as Previous' - can default be changed PEVA 22.02.2006 16:15:27 Ummm - that's not the way it's working here. Regardless of what you do prior to inserting new section, new headers and footers always link to previous - I just tried it to confirm. I've never seen it work any other way on any version of Word.

Re: New section header 'Same as Previous' - can default be changed PEVA 22.02.2006 16:16:29 That would proably work. Not sure it would be worth the trouble of creating/invoking a macro - but I'lll give it some thought. Changeable defaults would be nice.
