WD97: Unexpected Results with "Next Text Box" in Headers/Footers (157403)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q157403 SYMPTOMS
When you have linked text boxes in Odd/Even Headers and Footers, the Next
Text Box button may produce inconsistent results. The Previous Text Box
button works correctly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the
beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Word 97 for Windows allows you to link text boxes. With this
feature, text can start in one text box and flow into the next linked text
box. A good example of this feature is a newsletter. The text of an article
can start on page one and flow to the next text box on page three (or any
other page) to complete the article.
Text boxes have full functionality when you use them in the body of the
document. If you place them in Odd/Even Headers, the functionality of
advancing to the next text box is not the same as when they are in the body
of the document. The previous text box functionality is the same as it is
in the body of the document.
