I'm about to head off to bed now, Cindy....so I won't be able to see how you did til tomorrow But...you kinda lost me here. I thought you were putting this text box on the landscape pages, so it will appear at the bottom (kinda) so I don't know what you mean about distracting your eye from what's on the right Anyhoo....let us know how it goes.....we're supposed to get a snowstorm here tonite, so hopefully I will have power and be able to check back with you sometime tomorrow Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cindy McCormack Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 11:38 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Footer in Word 2002 Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will try it right now. I have another question, if you don't mind. Do you know if this is the correct way to do multi-layout documents? I have never seen them in print before so not sure if I'm making it a bigger issue than it needs to be? Should the footers all match as you flip through the book? The only thing about doing it in a text box down the side is that it seems to distract your eye from the rest of the content to the right of it?
