Hi there,

I have a 3 page document, I would like to create a header that will be in
Page 3 only - I have read the help line -
I have create a section break before page 3 but no matter what I do I still
get that header on page 1, any ideas anyone ?

Thanks
 
In the header use the following field (CTRL+F9 to set the field boundaries)

{IF {PAGE} = 3 "Put your header here"}

If the header is complicated, save all of it as an autotext entry and then
use the same con struction to insert an autotext field eg

{IF {PAGE} = 3 "{Autotext Autotextname}"}

You don't need a section break for this.

With the header/footer toolbar open, click on the Same as Previous icon and
turn off Same as Previous.

Thank you to both of you. The icon same as previous off seems to do the
trick. I still find the headers and footers a complex subject.
 
They are complex because they are fairly flexible, especially when used with
conditional (IF) fields and StyleRef fields. I would suggest looking at the
MVP FAQ and Suzanne Barnhill's sites for more suggestions / information.

what if you want to put the Header or Footer on the last page of a
document, but not any other page?
 
Hi patterson,

Use an { IF } field to test the page number against the total number
of pages and display the header/footer text if they're equal:

{ IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "Text of your header/footer here" }

Insert the field braces with CTRL+F9, not with the "{" and "}" keys.
