Howto suppress page footer on last page of document?

[StefanM]

Hi,

I know that you can define a different page header for the first page
(i.e. none) than for following pages. But I did not find a way to
suppress the page footer on the last page of the document.

Use case: print invoices with running total on every page footer and
page header, except page header for first page and page footer for
last page.

How can this be done in Word /(we are still on Word 2003...)

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi StefanM,

What you can do is to embed the footer contents in a field coded as:
{IF{PAGE}= {NUMPAGES} "" "Your footer goes here"}

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message.

Hi macropod,

yes thanks, that was easy! Although I should have done a search before
asking a FAQ ;-)
