Footers

I'm working on a 71-page document in Word 2007, which I am new to. The
document was composed of different documents cut & pasted together...some are
charts, some are forms, and some are from older versions of Word. I need to
put several different footers in different sections. First of all, is that
possible? Secondly, when I attempted to do so myself, often times two or
more subsequent pages (for example, pages 2-7) will all read page 2. And,
somewhere down in page 15, it reverts back to page 2. I've tried linking &
unlinking sections, deleting all footers and starting over again, etc., to no
avail. One of the footers I need is {text page# text} starting on the page
after the TOC. The TOC (3 pages) needs a separate footer. The last section
of the document (exhibits) needs yet a different footer. Any hope?

Read thoroughly (until you fully understand them) the articles at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm and
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm. Between them, these
will answer all your questions.

I am trying to create a somewhat complex document that begins with an agenda,
then has minutes from 2 meetings, Excel financial statements, etc. I would
like to have a single footer with page x of y that is on every page, but
headers that change in the different sections, including only the page
numbers for that section. For example: "September Minutes, page x of y". I
cannot seem to make these two different commands both work. I have read the
pages you linked to, but cannot find any information on a different set of
commands for the header as opposed to the footer.

It is certainly simple to have footers that are linked between sections and
headers that are not, but it is extremely complex to have both "whole
numbers" (continuous throughout the document) and page numbers that restart
in each section.

Well, at least I know I'm not crazy now... ;-)

I'll quit trying to make this document do something impossible. Thanks for
confirming my suspicions.
