Headers and Footers
« on: January 04, 2017, 02:51:03 am »
In which RTF Template(s) should I create my headers and footers when generating documents?

Presently, I have created them in my Cover Page only. When I generate the document, the cover page contains them, but none of the subsequent pages do... what am I doing wrong?

Using EA13 but still constructing documents using the Master Document (rather than Report Package) element

Additional info: when viewed in Word, the document that is created seems to have different headers defined for the first page, left page and right page. I don't want to vary anything - I just want every page header/footer to look identical

You can get by using only headers and footers on the cover page, but then you have to make sure that there are no empty headers or footers in any of the subsequential templates.
The problem is that you often don't see the "empty" header (it actually contains a single space), and that there is no way to get rid of it. The only way is to start from a clean template and copy contents into the new template, and then delete the old one.
