Quick Part page layouts
in [Page Layout]
|
From: Wizzo on 22 Mar 2010 13:33 I am trying to set up a template in Word 2007, with protected styles, that has Quick Part items that insert a custom layout (margins, header, footer, page nos. etc) in either landscape or portrait orientation. One QP would insert a section with portrait layout (with a different first page). The second QP would insert a new page section in landscape (with different margins etc.) The final QP would insert a new page section in portrait (with the same margins etc., as the first section). The second and third QP would not have a different first page. I have tried various techniques but cannot succeed. Any ideas? Wizzo -- cheer up it could be worse - I did and it was...
From: Stefan Blom on 22 Mar 2010 14:34 If you want a Quick Part (Building Block) to insert section formatting, you must create it so that it includes at least one actual section break. Note, however, that since each section break stores the formatting of the previous section, this is likely to be very confusing for users. Creating macros would probably be easier. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Wizzo" <Wizzo(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DFF9D35D-116A-4BDD-BEBB-AE00D42E1172(a)microsoft.com... >I am trying to set up a template in Word 2007, with protected styles, that > has Quick Part items that insert a custom layout (margins, header, footer, > page nos. etc) in either landscape or portrait orientation. > > One QP would insert a section with portrait layout (with a different first > page). > > The second QP would insert a new page section in landscape (with different > margins etc.) > > The final QP would insert a new page section in portrait (with the same > margins etc., as the first section). > > The second and third QP would not have a different first page. > > I have tried various techniques but cannot succeed.

From: Wizzo on 24 Mar 2010 10:21 You are right that when a saved Quick Part section is inserted into the document it applies the layout, header and footer of the saved section. Most confusing (and frustrating) for the user. I guess a macro is the way to go. Thank you for the confirmation that I was doing all I could with Quick Parts. I guess it's macros now. Thanks again Stefan Wizzo -- cheer up it could be worse - I did and it was...
