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 COMMAND+F9 to insert field braces. Inside the braces, type if, press COMMAND+F9 for another set of field braces, and type numpages inside the field braces.
- Press the RIGHT ARROW key twice to position the insertion point outside the closing brace of the NUMPAGES field. Type >, press COMMAND+F9, and type page 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.
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.
