inserting landscape pages; formatting headers/footers

[cmbrown]

In my code (word 2003), I:
insert two section breaks (now three sections)
format headers and footers in section 3: no link to previous
move up to section 2
make it landscape
format headers footers: no link to previous
format headers footers: tabs

This all works fine until the last step. Even though my cursor is in the
proper (i.e. the landscape page) header, and turning off link to prev works,
when I try to do anything (in this case set some tabs) the cursor jumps up to
the header in the previous section (which is portrait).

I can't figure it out, you can step through the code and see the cursor in
the landscape page header, you can see the proper link to prev get turned
off, but then, as soon as it executes the next line of code (in this case
format tabs), the cursor jumps up to the previous section. I have tried other
formatting things, like selecting all, inserting text, etc., but no matter
what I do the cursor jumps to the prev section. I have even tried exiting the
header and going back in, no luck.

Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

Why the triple post... Are you using the Web Interface?

Sorry Jean-Guy, I have been trying for days to "see" my own post. I tried
several times, and was never able to find it, so I assumed that something was
wrong. I just tried and it (they) finally showed up. The last question I
posted showed up immediately, so I was worried that something was broken. It
looks like it is working, but I am not sure why it took so long for me to be
able to see it. I did get two emails alerting me that I had two responses,
but when I clicked on the link, my post was not there.

Do you have any idea of why?
Thanks!

Also, I would love to send you my code re the header/footer problem. Is this
possible, or should I just post it?

Thanks again,
Chris

If you are using the Web Interface, I can't help you because I have tried it
once and positively hated it and have never been back since!
I hear there are delays and various problems with it, this is why I haven't
even consider giving it a second try.

You can use Outlook Express, or if you already have another email client
like Forté Agent or 40tude.

Also, I would love to send you my code re the header/footer problem.

You should post it, If I don't have the time to look at it right away,
someone else may be able to help...
