I have a document in MS Word 2003 that I have some pages in portrait orientation and others in landscape orientation. My problem is with those pages in landscape orientation. Because my footers are setup as a table, the table remains the same size on both the landscape and portrait. I need to extend the size of the table out further for asthetic purposes to make it more proportionate to the landscape orientation. Can you help?
Answer Hi Dawn,
I believe you need to go to Table Properties and the Table Tab then change the Preferred Table width.
You may also need to do this:
Create a Different Header or Footer for Part of a Document
When you create a header or footer, Word automatically uses the same header or footer throughout the entire document. To create a different header or footer for part of a document, divide the document into sections, and then break the connection between the header or footer in the current section and the previous one.
1 If you haven't done so already, insert a section break where you want to start a new section that contains a different header or footer
(From the Menu Bar Select Insert, Break, make your choice and then click OK)
2 Click in the section for which you want to create a different header or footer.
3 On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
4 If necessary, move to the header or footer you want to change.
5 On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Same as Previous or Link to Previous.
6 Change the existing header or footer, or create a new one for this section.
Word automatically makes the same changes to the headers or footers for all subsequent sections.
To create a different header or footer for a subsequent section, repeat steps 1 through 6.
Good luck.
Dale :-)
Ps. When you change the header or footer for a section, Microsoft Word automatically changes the same header or footer for all sections of the document.
To create a different header or footer for a section, you need to break the connection between the sections. Click in the section for which you want to create a different header or footer. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Same as Previous to break the connection between the header and footer in the current section and the previous one.
