Delete the header and footer from just one page in document?
Debbie 1/2/2007 9:09:00 PM
I need to Delete the header and footer from just one page in the middle of
the document. The header and footer are linked to previous pages and I need
to know how to unlink them from the previous page also.

Thanks!

Headers and footers are attributes of Sections, not of pages, with the
exception of the First Page header or footer that a Section can have.

You therefore have a couple of choices:

1. Insert Section Breaks before and after the page in question and unlink
the headers and footers in the section in which that page is located from
the headers and footers in the preceding Section and also the ones in the
following Section from the headers and footers in the Section with the page
and then delete the content of the headers and footers in that Section.

2. If the headers and footers just contain simple text, used an
If...then...Else... field construction that checks the page number and
inserts the header and footer text if other than the page number on which
you do not want it to appear.

Hi Debbie

I have the easiest way to delete a header off first page.
First click on header and footer then select page set up from the header
menu. Once page setup window opens click on the tab "Layout" then select
click the option " Different First Page"

Here you are!!!
Hope it helps

The way it worked best is to insert a continuous section break at the bottom
of the last page with the repeat footer and then again at the bottom of the
last page with the next set of footers. Then view the header footer and it
shows the footer you want to change with a message same as previous on the
top right. Clicking on the link switched that off so it could be unique.
