How can I save a landscape page with a header/footer and a field reference as an autotext to use as needed. -- Thanks!
You can't, but you can probably save it as a document and insert it with an IncludeText field. The IncludeText field would have to come after a section break could be saved with the break as the autotext entry. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> big john wrote: > How can I save a landscape page with a header/footer and a field > reference as an autotext to use as needed.
I really need this as a button for a template. Can i do it that way, or do i need to do it as a macro? When i do it as a macro, it messes up the header in the pages after and all the footers go to lanscape. Is there a way to fix that problem? -- Thanks!

I don't see why this wouldn't be possible as AutoText provided the appropriate section breaks were included. -- Suzanne S.

How would i do it? I tried saving it as an autotext, but it didn't carry the header/footer with it, only the paragraph mark. -- Thanks! "Suzanne S.

As noted, you have to include the section break, which stores the header/footer and other section-level formatting. -- Suzanne S.

The following macro should work and preserve your headers. You need to insert the header where indicated Sub InsertLandscapeSection() Dim oHead1 As HeaderFooter Dim oHead2 As HeaderFooter Dim oHead3 As HeaderFooter Dim sCurSection As String Dim sHeadText As String Dim sHead1Text As String sHeadText = "This is the landscape header" sCurSection = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber) Set oHead1 = _ ActiveDocument.Sections(sCurSection).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary) oHead1.LinkToPrevious = False sHead1Text = oHead1.Range With Selection .InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage .PageSetup.Orientation = wdOrientLandscape Set oHead2 = _ ActiveDocument.Sections(sCurSection + 1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary) oHead2.LinkToPrevious = False oHead2.Range.Text = sHeadText .InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage .PageSetup.Orientation = wdOrientPortrait End With Set oHead3 = _ ActiveDocument.Sections(sCurSection + 2).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary) oHead3.LinkToPrevious = False oHead3.Range.Text = sHead1Text oHead1.Range.Text = sHead1Text End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> big john wrote: > I really need this as a button for a template.
