Include a footer on only the last page of a variable size word document
I have a document which needs to have a footer on the last page only. I can't use the usual section brake solution because the document is of variable length, depending on which "boiler plate" paragraphs are included.
From what I have read it looks like I might have to add some visual basic to the document to get it to work. I have never done this, so I will need some very simple instructions.
Thanks,
Brita

Gram,
That looks great, but word isn't my speciality and I don't understand how to make this show up in the footer. I copy and past that into the footer, but it just shows that text not the result.
Are there some sort of steps to put code into the footer?

Graham,
I figured out how to make it show up, but it is not working. It keeps just saying "other page footer" even on the last page.
Any ideas?

Not the world's greatest typist myself. This:
"It is a bit easiet to type in the outer parr first:"
should be
"It is a bit easier to type in the outer pair first:"
Sorry about that

Graham,
Your last post was correct. I didn't understand about the CTRL F9. I just inserted a new page then edited the it using regular {} not the ones created by CTRL F9. Once I used that it works GREAT!!!!
Thanks soooooo much for your help.
I had been tearing my hair out for hours and no one around here had any idea how to help.
Thanks again,
Brita

You really need to use an { IF... } field with embedded { PAGE } and { NUMPAGES } fields:
{ IF {Page} = {Numpages} "last page footer" "other page footer"}
