What's wrong with my loop?

[Irrma]

Hi,



I am getting multiple footers in sections. Does anybody know what I am going wrong?

Sub AddFooter()
'
' AddFooter Macro
'
'
Dim i As Integer
ActiveDocument.PageSetup.OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFoot er = True
For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Sections.Count

ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterP rimary).Range _
.InsertAfter "Odd Header"
ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterE venPages).Range _
.InsertAfter "Even Header"


Next i

End Sub

Please help.Thank you!!!

There is nothing wrong with your loop as it is doing exactly what you are telling it to do.

Word headers and footers are sort of like the old player piano sheets that form a continuous loop that repeats over an over again. Unless you break the link between new sections when you add them the contents will just keep piling up. Unless broken the first section header is sort of linked to the last section header.

Sub AddFooter()
Dim i As Integer
ActiveDocument.PageSetup.OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter = True
For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Sections.Count
  ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).LinkToPrevious = False
  ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.InsertAfter "Odd Footer Section " & i
  ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).LinkToPrevious = False
  ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.InsertAfter "Even Footer Section " & i
Next i
End Sub

Thank you very much gmaxey... It is still not doing what I want. It is still adding multiple footers to sections...
My last footer (last section) looks like this:

Even Footer Section 3Even Footer Section 4Even Footer Section 5Even Footer Section 6Even Footer Section 7Even Footer Section 8Even Footer Section 9Even Footer Section 10Even Footer Section 11Even Footer Section

I am sure my script has a flaw but I can't find it . Please help!
