Different footer on last page

[fairyca]

Hello people!



I have problem with last page of my document in office Word. I would like to have last page in my docx different from rest of the file.
All tutorials are for text, but I have picture in footer.

I have (or I will) attach my document for you to see.
Page number 1 is ok, page number 2 and 3 (and so on) should be without footer and last page (page 4) with blue picture footer.

What you require is a Next Page section break.

Headers and footers are properties of the section, not the page. When you begin a document, you have one section, which continues, with subsequent pages inheriting the same headers and footers, margins, etc., until you tell word, with a section break, to begin a new section. With your cursor at the end of the last page before your new section need, go to the Page Layout tab, use the down arrow next to Breaks, and select Next page in the Section Breaks part.

A page break is not the same as a section break; it merely forces your cursor to the next page, but does not create a new section.

Once you have inserted the section break at the end of the page preceding your last page, there is one more step before inserting your image or making any other change to your header or footer. When you activate either header or footer, you will see a tag below it on the right that says Same as previous. This is what you don't want, since any change you make will then replicated in the previous pages as well. Click on the header and footers tab that appeared above the ribbon when you entered the header/footer "layer", and deselect "Link to previous." You may now insert your image.

You can do this without a Section break if you want.

This also applies to footers in general.

Header/Footer Settings Recap

Charles, I learned something new from you today: the idea of inserting a page break before a next page section break to get H&F on the blank page.

I need to learn something else. I hadn't thought of using the odd-even for image insertion, but the poster indicated a document of at least four pages. Therefore, how would this work for his image insertion on the last page without a section break preventing its appearance on at least one previous page?

Thanks.

You can do this without either Section breaks or having anything other than an ordinary page layout, though the method will work with those, too. All you need is a field coded along the lines of:
{={NUMPAGES}-{PAGE} \# ",,'This is the last page'"}
or:
{IF{NUMPAGES} = {PAGE} "This is the last page"}

Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above examples are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practicable to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues.

This was in the first article I linked. What can be done with text in an IF field in a footer can also be done with an image anchored inside the IF field. Creating that IF field is a bit of a challenge but I've done it.
