Default suppressing footer

Bunny,


There is a way which involves Fields. You have to somehow mark the pages
that you want to display the footer.

An example is classified documents that have paragraphs markings (e.g, (C)
marks a paragraph as Classified). The paragraph marking can then serve as a
page marker for displaying a footer on any page that contains the (C)
marker.

Lets say that you could use (C) somewhere on the page as a page marker for
your continued pages.

The field code for the Footer would be:

{ IF { SEQ Contd \c} = { PAGE }"Continued"""}



The field code for creating the marker would be:



{ Quote (C) { SEQ Contd \r { PAGE } \h } }



Of course you don't want to have to type that field everytime you want to
mark a page so you can select it, Press ALT+F3 and name is as an AutoText
entry. Call it "contd"



Now you can mark any page to display the "Continued" footer by inserting the
autotext entry on that page.



If displaying a marker is a problem, the you can omit the Quote field and
just use:



{ SEQ Contd \r { PAGE } \h } this will result in your markers being hidden
when you display field results. To toggle back and forth between the hidden
results and the visible code, press ALT+F9

Is there a way in a large document to suppress a footer on some pages
but not others?

I transcribe medical documents. Some facilities want the entire day's
work in a single file (file name: 06-11ctr.doc). Within the document
there are many different patient reports. The first patient's report
might be 3 pages long (pages 1-3). The second patient's report might
be 2 pages long (pages 4 and 5). The third patient's report might be
4 pages long (pages 6, 7, 8, and 9). And so forth.

When information travels to the next page, I am supposed to insert
"CONTINUED" at the bottom of the page. So far I have been doing this
manually, but I am hoping it can be done through a footer.

Using the above example document, is there a way to have the
"CONTINUED" appear in the footer of pages 1, 2 (first patient
report), page 4 (second patient report), and pages 6, 7, and 8) on
the third patient report?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
