Footer Fields

[Scott]

is there a field that can have different text in it for every Header of
Footer where it is used. I would like to have a "Revision Date" that could
be different on every footer of a document. Currently the only way I can do
this is to create a section break between every page. This is too cumbersom
so if I make revisions on one page I create a revision date for the whole
document. Why can't a field be created that could contain different text on
every footer of header if one doesn't exist.

Why use a field? Just type the desired date into each footer.

The whole point of a footer is that it continues throughout the pages it
applies to. The only type of variable field that you could use would be a
Styleref field which could be used to reproduce text from the page, but if
it changes with each page, it would be simpler just to use a borderless text
box place over the footer area on the page containing a date (not a date
field).

Thanks for this simple approach.
I keep automatic paganation, can force page breaks as needed and can date
each page with the "Revision Date" that applies to that page and I do not
need section breaks (a constant pain) between each page.

Thanks again!
