Making a Form to use as an office standard.

[thisisme]

I'm trying to create a form that we're going to be using as an office
standard, and I have most of it figured out, however I'm wondering if there
is a way to change certain aspects of the file if the document exceeds more
than 1 page. In essence I want to create an if statement, that says if the
document exceeds 1 page insert "a header" on to the second page and all
subsequent pages, and move the footer to the last page only.

You don't need an IF field for the header; enable "Different first page" and
then create a First Page Header and a Header (for details, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm); the Header will appear
on the second and subsequent pages, if any. For the last-page footer, you
need:

{ IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "Text you want on the last page" }

All pairs of field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be
typed from the keyboard) must be inserted using Ctrl+F9.

To add to the information provided by Susan, you should also be creating
this as a Template and to make it as easy as possible to use, especially for
dealing with the header information, if not other things, the template
should contain a user form.
