If you don't use WriteNow, you aren't interested in this note. I like being able to define multiple headers and footers in WriteNow, but I couldn't figure out how to make a header not appear on the first page of a document, but on all subsequent pages. Of course, I could just define the header on the second page, but that's icky--you would have to be careful when editting the file so the marker wouldn't slide off the second page to the first or third, defeating the purpose. Plus, this would make it impossible to use a Stationery document to make it happen automatically. Anyway, I had a flash of inspiration. For any given page, WriteNow uses the LAST header definition it found on a PREVIOUS page, or the FIRST definition it finds ON the page. So, all I had to do was put TWO headers at the top of my Stationery document. The first is blank, and results in a blank header on page 1. The second is the header that is printed on subsequent pages. This works like a charm. I hope somebody else finds this useful (or am I just stupid, and you've all been doing this all the time?). ---- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: dorner@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu UUCP: ihnp4!uiucuxc!dorner IfUMust: (217) 333-3339
