MORE INFORMATION

To print the word "Continued" in a footer on all pages except the last, follow these steps:

  1. On the View menu, click Header And Footer.

  2. Switch to the Footer by clicking the "Switch Between Header and Footer" button on the Header and Footer toolbar.

  3. In the footer, press CTRL+F9 (Windows) or COMMAND+F9 (Macintosh) to insert field braces. Inside the braces, type "if " (without the quotation marks), press CTRL+F9 (Windows) or COMMAND+F9 (Macintosh) for another set of field braces, and type "numpages" (without the quotation marks) inside the field braces.

  4. Press the RIGHT ARROW key twice to position the insertion point outside the closing brace of the NUMPAGES field. Type ">" (without the quotation marks), press CTRL+F9 (Windows) or COMMAND+F9 (Macintosh), and type "page" (without the quotation marks) inside these field braces.

  5. Press the RIGHT ARROW key twice to position the cursor outside the closing brace of the PAGE field. Type a space and "Continued" (with the quotation marks).

The field should appear as follows:

   {if {numpages}>{page} "Continued"}
