Mixing Different headers when combining docs, and skipping

[Lee Harris]

I probably should have sorted this out first, but I have about 5 twenty page
documents that I need to link together. I am OK to do that and can F9 to
update all my cross refs etc, and have styles set up OK for TOC to work
properly

My main problem is that I want something like this



Front Page(s)
Blurb/Intro Section
"Section A" title page
Document A
"Section B" title page
Document B
"Section C" title page
Document C
"Section D" title page
Document D
"Section E" title page
Document E


Documents A-E are my original source docs, each one has its own header
(footers are same in all 5 docs) that includes the Section Title in it.

How can I make it so the headers are correct for each section, even though
they are different?
Is it possible to make the headers/footers not appear on arbitray pages so I
can have the title pages essentially blank - just with the title in large
type

tks in advance

I seem to have found how to do the first bit by just using the "same as
previous section" toggle, but not the second part of my question

For the title pages, you want to set each section to have a different first
page header, via File | Page Setup, Layout (or maybe Margins, I forget).
Then the first page header/footers can be empty.
