Footer Problems

ok, I did a search and couldn't find anything helpful.

I created a footer with the document name on the left and the page
number on the right. I added a top border too. Now, how can I hide
the footer on the page 1? You would think it'd be pretty simple.

Any help will be appreciated.

Oh, is there a code I can add that would automatically insert the name
of the document?

Check the box for "Different first page" on the Layout tab of Page Setup.
This will give you a separate First Page Footer that you can leave blank.

Xcellent!!

Thank you sooo much,

By chance, do you know how I can get the name of the document added
into the footer automatically?

If this is Word 2003 or earlier, you can use the "Filename" or "Filename and
path" entry from the AutoText menu on the Header and Footer toolbar. If it's
Word 2007, see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...002951033.aspx

That's assuming you mean the filename. If you mean the title, then, if you
have used the Title style, you can use a StyleRef field referencing the
Title style. If you have entered the title in the Title field of the file
Properties, you can use a Title field.
