I've been having some trouble putting in my footer. It keeps putting it in for all the sections and I only need all but the first section, that being the title page. Is there a way to put it in for every section but the first, and if so can anybody help me find the instructions for that? I have MS Office Professional 2010 and Windows Vista Service Pack 2.



Any help would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks a lot

Was your Title Page inserted as a Cover Page using that function on the Insert tab? If so, it is not a separate section.

Assuming it is a separate section, got to your Section 2 footer and change the Link to Previous setting on the Header and Footer Tools ribbon so it is not linked. Then go to page 1 and delete the footer.

If you did use the Cover Page write back and we'll work on that.

That did it. Thanks. I thought that the "Link to Previous" might have something to do with it, but I'd never done this before, so I had no idea why it wasn't working, but thought it must be a simple solution and it was. Thanks, Charles. Problem resolved, and now I know what to do next time it crops up.

Happy Holidays all!
