Your suggestion was right on. However, (isn't there always a however) I now find that using the following code causes the header on the first page to revert back to the header for the entire section. Actually, the line referring to ShowFirstPageNumber=.t. is the culprit. Everything is fine if I comment that line out. Any words of wisdom on this ?


oWord.ActiveDocument.Sections[1].Footers[1].PageNumbers.Add()
oWord.ActiveDocument.Sections[1].Footers[1].PageNumbers.ShowFirstPageNumber=.t.
oWord.ActiveDocument.Sections[1].Footers[1].PageNumbers[1].Alignment=wdAlignPageNumberCenter
