Legallisa - switching from WordPerfect
I've been using Word 2007 for a couple of years now after using Word Perfect
for 28.
I've been struggling with section breaks even after reading Susan Barnhill's
and others' instructions. I have a pleading with two pages. After the first
page there is a next page section break -- it has a different footer and page
number. I deleted the footer and linked it to the first page footer. When I
tried to delete the next page section break the line numbers of my pleading
paper and the footer disappeared. I tried inserting a continuous page break
and then delete the next page break but that didn't work either. I'm stumped.
I have a new employer that has pleading paper set-up, although I don't
believe it's a Word template. The issue I've described above happens a
lot. I understand that the section breaks contain the formatting for the
text above it. What I did in Word Perfect was to create the numbered lines
and footer in a watermark (I wish Word could do watermarks line WP), so that
if text was deleted the lines stayed put.
I've seen some firms put the numbers on the left and the footer into a table
format as part of a header.
I guess what I want is the numbers on the pleading paper and the footer to
stay put even if all the formatting is cleared. Can this be done? I
probably didn't describe this very well. Sorry for any confusion.
