LinkToPrevious Property

See Also         Example         Applies To

True if the specified header or footer is linked to the corresponding header or footer in the previous section. When a header or footer is linked, its contents are the same as in the previous header or footer. Read/write Boolean.

Remarks

Because the LinkToPrevious property is set to True unless you change it, you can add headers, footers, and page numbers to your entire document by working with the headers, footers, and page numbers in the first section. For instance, the following example adds page numbers to all sections of the active document.

ActiveDocument.Sections(1) _
    .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumbers.Add

The LinkToPrevious property applies to each header or footer individually. For example, the LinkToPrevious property could be set to True for the even-numbered-page header but False for the even-numbered-page footer.
