SUMMARY
This article describes how to insert a field into a Microsoft Word
document footer that prints the word "Continued" on all pages except the
last page.
MORE INFORMATION
To print the word "Continued" in a footer on all pages except the last one
without using section break, follow these steps:
- On the View menu, click Header And Footer.
- Switch to the Footer by clicking the "Switch Between Header and Footer"
button on the Header and Footer toolbar.
- In the footer, press CTRL+F9 to insert field braces. Inside the braces,
type "if " (without the quotation marks), press CTRL+F9 for another set
of field braces, and type "numpages" (without the quotation marks)
inside the field braces.
- 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, and type "page" (without the quotation
marks) inside these field braces.
- 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"}
NOTE: This method can be used to print or display any item in the header
or footer of a document excluding the last page. You can also use this
method to place a different item on the last page, for example
{if {numpages}>{page} "Continued Next page." "The End of Document."}
the second group of text will appear on the last page of the document.
