Header and footer question

[Huwpla]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to insert a header and footer at the start
and end of a document only - i.e. not on the top or bottom of each page,
just the top of the first page (header), and the bottom of the last(
footer)? I hope this makes sense!

If so, how?

Thanks in advance,

-H

You could insert conditional page fields in the header and footer.
Press Alt+F9 to turn on display of field codes. Put the the following
field in the header:

{ if { page } = 1 "type first-page header text here" }

and the following field in the footer:

{ if { page } = { numpages } "type last-page footer text here" }

Don't type the curly braces; enter them by pressing Ctrl+F9. When
you're done creating the fields, press Alt+F9 again to switch back to
display of field results.

Huwpla,
For the first page no problem, in the header and footer toolbar click on the
page setup button, choose the last tab, click different first page under
header and footer section.
For the footer only on the last page, you need to insert a section break
just before the last page
Insert - Break - Next Page, turn Same as Previous off with the appropriate
button in the Header/Footer toolbar. This let's you format the footer as you
want, separate from the previous footer.
