Header / Footer Macro

[Andy]

Good morning all!

Every time i insert a landscape page the headers and footers maintain the
margins of the portrate pages which looks stupid. Re doing each one
individually is very time consuming.

My question: Has anyone worked out how to tell word that portrate pages
should be set up in one way and land scape should be set up in another? I'm
sure macro's are the way forward here but do not understand enough about them
to write one myself.

Cheers

Create a second paragraph style for each of the header/footer sections for
the landscape headers/footers with the indents and tabs you require (base
them on no style), break the link between the sections and apply the
appropriate styles to the headers/footers.

And note that it's really just the tab stops that are at issue, as the
default Header and Footer styles don't have any indents (and, even if they
did, they would be subtracted from the portrait margin width).

Some users, instead of using the built-in tab stops, create their headers in
a borderless three-column table set to 100% width. This unfortunately can
drive Word crazy, consuming a lot of processing cycles best used for other
purposes and (reportedly) sometimes making the whole document sort of
shimmer or quiver.
