Footers

[Windmill]

I'm trying to change one footer on a page to match the footer on the pages
that follow. The preceding footers are different as they are supposed to be.
(There are three different footers in the document.) I can't find the "Link
to Previous" tab that the instructions say to use to change the footer. Can
someone help me with this?

 

[Stefan Blom]

In some versions of Word, the option is called "Same as Previous" rather
than "Link to Previous."

Also, note that each type of header (footer) can only be linked/unlinked to
a footer of the same type in the preceding section. For example, you can
link the first page header in section 2 to the first page header in section
1. For more on headers and footers, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm.

You can have up to three different footers in a given section (see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm), but you won't have an
active Link to Previous (or Same as Previous) button unless you have more
than one section.
