Office Professional 2007 Key My left footer doesn

Footers. They can be extremely helpful, and they can be annoyingly unruly. Two Microsoft Word Facebook fans faced some of these challenges last week and shared with the community. So,Office Professional 2007, Christie and Rick, this blog post is dedicated to you. Christie had the footer of the first page replicated all over the document,Office 2010 Activation, though she did not intend it to be so. Rick had another type of challenge, with a certain footer appearing on every other page. Argh! If there were only a "do what I mean" button... Well, there is. However, it's not as conveniently named, so I can certainly understand if you missed it. In Word 2010 (and 2007) when you double-click the footer area or insert a footer from the Insert tab, a contextual tab opens on the ribbon that is called Header and Footer Tools: On this tab, in the Options group, there are two check boxes that were designed with Christie and Rick in mind,Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate, respectively. The first check box is Different First Page. When it's checked, this makes the footer of the first page different from the rest of the footers in the document. Changes to the first page's footer will not be reflected in the other pages, and vice versa. The second check box is Different Odd & Even Pages. This is a great option for anyone who is interested in printing a double-sided bound document. That way, for example, you can have the page number on the left on all left pages and the page number on the right on all right pages -- just like in most books. However, if you want a consistent footer throughout the document, you should make sure this check box is not checked. One more important thing to note about footers is their behavior when a new section is inserted. By default, they are linked to the previous section. So, let's say you are developing the cure for insomnia in the form of a long paper. The table of contents alone takes four pages, and you logically divide the document into different parts. In each, you want to use the header or the footer to let the reader know where she is along the journey. The logical solution is to insert a section break at the end of each part (Page Layout tab,Office Professional 2007 Key, Page Setup group, Breaks, Section Break, Next Page). Alas, to your dismay, the footer (or header) remains the same. In that case,Office 2010 Code/, you did not turn off Link to Previous in the Navigation group on the Header and Footer Tools tab: After you click this button to turn it off, the changes you make to the footer (or header) in either section will not affect the other. So Christie and Rick, I hope this sheds some additional light on your recent footer dilemma. I love hearing from the community, so please keep the great questions coming.
