Remove all headers and footers. Remove all multiple headers and footers. Kutools for Word: Add 100 New Advanced Features to Word 2003 / 2007 / 2010. How to Make Superscript Text in Microsoft Word. By: David Weedmark. The cursor is automatically placed in the footer when you click the 'Insert Footnote' icon.
Is it possible to have different headers and footers for a landscape and portrait page in one document, thus when you add a landscape page it needs to automatically use the landscape header and footer? And if I press enter on the landscape page it should create a new landscape page with its own header and footer. We've looked into section breaks, and adding Even/Odd page breaks, but then one needs to add a new header manually Or is there another way to set up a document to make it issue to switch between headers and footers for different pages? I'm using MS Word 2013. Since I'm using Word 2003, it doesn't have the ability to give different headers and footings to pages.
I know 2007 can, so newer versions should. AFAIK, it is 'impossible' to make something like what you are asking (by this I mean Word automatically knowing if a page is landscape/portrait and then add header). You can do this, by hand, but it gets unbelievably messy. The quote marks on impossible mean that it might be possible if someone somewhere programs a macro for that. But it seems IMHO like a feature few people would use. – Aug 21 '13 at 5:17.
I don't know of a macro-free way to define a global 'landscape' and a global 'portrait' header & footer and have them automatically be applied to all pages. That sounds like trying to define a page's font size based on its margins. What you can do is divide your page into and format those. It sounds like you've already started down this path.
I think the missing piece you're looking for is. When unchecked, this option allows you to assign a different header & footer to a given section. You can then assign an orientation to the section and both properties will stay in sync within that section.
That last bit is important. Synchronization won't occur across sections. Use this technique only if:. The number of landscape & portrait sections in your document is small and doesn't change often. (An often-changing number of pages within a section is okay.) Don't use this technique if:. The number of landscape & portrait sections in your document is large or changes often.
Your headers & footers change often. (Although this may not be a problem if the number of sections is small.). Maintainers of your document aren't comfortable working with sections. Steps. Start with a blank document. In the Home tab's Paragraph group, show formatting marks by checking Show/Hide ¶. Divide your document into sections by inserting several Next Page section breaks 1:.
Page Layout Breaks Next Page. Repeat several times. Orient each section as desired:. Navigate the insertion point (blinking cursor) to a desired section. Page Layout Page Setup dialog box launcher Margins:. Orientation: Landscape.
Apply to: This section. Repeat for all desired sections. For each section's header & footer, uncheck Link to Previous 2:.
Navigate the insertion point (blinking cursor) to the document's second section (the first section has no previous section to link to). Right click in the section's header area and select Edit Header. The Design tab (part of the Header & Footer Tools) should appear. In its Navigation group, uncheck Link to Previous. Repeat for the footer (Go to Footer will help in this regard). Repeat for all sections (Next and Previous will help in this regard). For each section's header & footer, fill in the desired text:.
Right click in the section's header area and select Edit Header. Type the desired text. Repeat for the footer. Repeat for all sections. Once your document is set up this way, each section will have its own orientation, header, and footer, and will automatically apply those properties to all pages within it, even as those properties change.
Navigate the insertion point (blinking cursor) to any section. Insert a new page:. Page Layout Breaks Page 3. Insert a hard return (newline) by pressing Enter. Note that the new page inherits its section's header & footer, and that any change made to the header or footer is applied to all other pages within that section. You can later change these section breaks to be Continuous, Even Page, or Odd Page, but this initial setup will be far easier using whole pages. There are also macros you can write to uncheck Link to Previous by default.
To insert a new page within a section, insert a new page break, not a Next Page section break.
Egads, these are confusing! I couldn't possibly tell you everything here, but I'll try to give enough information to take away the mystery. Section breaks are intricately tied in with the File Page setup options of Different First Page and Different Odd/Even Headers and Footers.

Use the Different First Page option if you want a different heading on your first page than on the rest of your document. But if you need more than just a different heading on your first page, you need section breaks. If you use the Different First Page option in your document, and then insert a section break, the second section is automatically created with the Different First Page too. The Link to Previous (a/k/a Same as Previous) button on the Header/Footer toolbar links (or unlinks) your current header or footer to (or from) the previous header or footer of the same type. This is so important to know. Suppose you have the Different First Page option in your first section. You insert a section break (next page type).
Now, the Header/Footer toolbar indicates it's linked to the previous section, but the header doesn't show up! Well.that's because it's linked to the First Page header of the previous section and not the (main) Header of the previous section. If you want it to link to the (main) Header of the previous section, then you must uncheck the Different First Page option for this section only. Notice how the header and footer type appear in the screen captures. Pay attention, and it'll all begin to make sense.
If you choose to Link to Previous while in the header shown below (First Page Header Section 2), you will be 'copying' the First Page Header from Section 1. Therein lies the mystery.
You hit Link to Previous button and get unexpected results. So you hit the Show Previous button, and you don't see the same thing. The Show Previous and Show Next buttons go to the next section regardless of the section type, while the Link to Previous (Same as Previous) button is referring to the previous section of the same type. Hence, we're all confused! Hopefully, knowing this information clears up some issues for you.
Change a Header or Footer While you can use Different First Page, it won't always work for your needs. You may have multiple chapters, for instance. So, it may be easiest to follow these steps. Once you learn these steps, you'll likely teach yourself methods that are a little quicker. Insert a section break (next page) at the bottom of each page prior to the page where you want to change the header or footer.
View the header/footer and, using the Show Next button, go to each header or footer and turn off the Same as Previous or Link to Previous button. This makes your headers/footers stop changing each other. Now change your headers and footers as desired. Deleting a Section Break Deleting a section break, for the same reasons as mentioned above, will often throw off all page formatting. For instance, if I delete the 3rd section break, my 3rd section now becomes formatted like my 4th section, which may be undesirable. To avoid this, you must first go to next section and format it exactly like the previous section in regard to Page Setup and Page Layout options.
Then, in my for instance, when I delete the 3rd section break, it simply takes on the formatting of the 4th section, which has been formatted the same. OfficeArticles.com debuted on May 26, 2005.
