Re: How alter Word 2003 doc last page footer without altering othe
Thank you very much for your reply.
Using this method, is there a way to find/replace the last page footer value
with an incremented value or to pass an incremented value to this method? For
example, Doc 1 needs a last page footer value of 10. Doc 2 needs a last page
footer value of 11. Doc 32 wraps back to a last page footer value of 10. The
code is in place to provide this incremented value but a method is needed to
get it into the last page footer without changing the other doc footers.

Re: How alter Word 2003 doc last page footer without altering othe
There's probably a way, though I can't tell you exactly what it would be;
you might try asking in one of the word.vba NGs for help. Some possibilities
to consider:
* Find and Replace at its most basic: if field codes are displayed, you can
find and replace text in them just as you would anywhere else, but you'd
have to tell Word where to look.
* You might want to consider using a DocProperty field to insert the number.
Of course, you'd have to find a way to write the value to the document
property, but that can be done, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/DSOFile.htm
I think the latter might be a more productive avenue of investigation for
doing this through automation.
