Ommitting headers and footer in specific pages?

[kaston3]

How can I make footers and headers invisible or omit them in say pages
13 and 20 of a 30 page document?

Thanks

You could do it with section breaks or conditional IF fields. See:

Hello Kaston,

The way you control headers and footers is with with sections breaks. A
section break acts as an invisible barrier preventing headers and footers
from flowing upward to previous pages if link to previous on pages following
the section break have link to previous deselected. This is represented by an
icon on the show headers and footers tool bar.

Note - selected is whan the icon has a border.

However they can be tricky. To understand how they work, try this.

1. Open a blank document and create four pages.
2. On page one insert a text into both the header and footer. confirm that
the text shows in the header and footer on every page.
3. Anywhere on the page that is prior to the page where you want the blank
header and footer, insert a continuous section break. To do this go to Word's
menu bar and select Insert > break > Section Breaks : Continuous.
4. Show headers and footers. From Word's menu bar click View > Headers and
Footers.
4. Go to the next page (The page you want the header and footer blank) and
place your cursor in either the header or footer. On the Header and Footer
tool bar Click the Link to previous to deselect it. (it should now not have a
border)
5. delete the text. This should all the text on the previous page to remain
and the current page footer to be empty.
6. Repeat for the header.

Now it is necessary to replace the headers and footers on the following pages.

7. Insert a continuous section break on the page that has blank headers and
footers.
8. Go to the next page.
9. Select either the header and footer and again deselect the link to
previous page.
10. type the text you want and it will show in the header or footer for this
page down. The section break on the page that has a blank header and footer
prevents the new entry from flowing upward.

You can repeat this funciton as many times as you like in your document.

When you understand working with section breakes you need to research how to
automatically link your headers and footers to styles using STYLEREF

In your example below you want the section breaks on pages 12 and 13, and on
19 and 20.

Hopefully this has helped you.
