 |

How can the last page footer of a Word 2003 document be altered without
altering the information in the footers of the other pages?
A word template document is used with a visual basic program to generate
over 26,000 individual word documents using details from a file. The
individual word documents can have between 2-30 pages. The footer of this
word template document contains a two cell table. Cell 1 of this table must
contain a different value for the first, middle, and last pages of the word
document. For example, the first page cell 1 must be 20. Last page cell 1
must be 10. The middle pages must be 00. The cell 1 values increment for each
document and are not the same for each document.
If a section break is manually or programmatically added before the footer
of the last page, the first page either appears blank or it becomes section 1
with the rest of the pages becoming section 2 even though the goal was for
the last page to become section 2. Inserting a page at the end of the
document and then attempting the section break has the same results.
How can a section break be forced before the last footer without impacting
the other pages?

You can use conditional fields in the footer table cell, for example:
{IF {PAGE} = 1 "This is the first page" "{IF {PAGE}={NUMPAGES}"This is the
last page" "This is a middle page"}"}
Each {} pair must be created with CTRL-F9 and the placement of the " must be
precise.

Thank you for your reply...
Can a variable be passed to this method?
For example, can the following:
{IF {PAGE} = 1 "This is the first page" "{IF {PAGE}={NUMPAGES}"This is the
last page" "This is a middle page"}"}
receive a variable like [vBOC] and [vEOC]:
{IF {PAGE} = 1 "[vBOC]" "{IF {PAGE}={NUMPAGES}"[vEOC]" "*00*"}"}

You could use document variables and the associated {DOCVARIABLE}field.
{IF {PAGE} = 1 "{DOCVARIABLE vBOC}" "{IF {PAGE}={NUMPAGES}"{DOCVARIABLE
vEOC}" "*00*"}"}
Alternatively, custom document properties can be used as well. The latter do
not require VBA, document variables require VBA to manipulate them.

Not a VBA variable. But you can create a custom document property, put
whatever text you want into the property, and insert a DOCPROPERTY field
referring to it between the quotes.
