Remove Mail Merge Fields From All Headers & Footer (Except Page Numbering)

[jimmycooker]

Just wondering can anyone help with this?

I need to remove all Mail Merge (convert to text / leave same formatting) from All Headers & Footers (while leaving page numbering as is).

All attempts at this so far have worked for the first header, but stop when the page changes to landscape.

Also, is there a way to link headers between landscape / portrait pages changes?

Greatfull in advance!

Thanks,
James.

Yes - simply use the 'same as previous' option. Do note, though, that the header/footer layout won't auto-adapt to the changes in page widths.

To have header/footer width adapt between portrait and landscape use Alignment Tabs (http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/sections2007.htm#AlignmentTabs).
