How to manipulate with headers/footers/page numbers

[jz]

Hey I have a 3 page survey that I am mailing out to thousands of people for
work. We know exactly who these people are and have given each of them a
unique ID.

How do we play around with the page number/header/footer so that every copy
of the survey would have the ID corresponding to the specific client, and all
3 pages have the same ID on it.

Use mailmerge to create the documents from a data source that contains the
ID numbers and put a mergefield for that data in header where you want it to
appear.

You may also find the following of use

See the “Individual Merge Letters†item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor’s website
at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

If you are using Word XP or later, the “Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate
Files†that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken
from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss.

and the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

Using the information from those two sources, you could automate the
creation and emailing of the documents.
