Thanks for the responses - made me think it through and define what I

Brians workaround would be acceptable for me, but would most likely
cause too much support issues for me (I'm a one man I.T. shop for a smal
company (50+ users) when our users can't figure it out.
Barbaras option - just create the Page Styles needed, and manually apply
them as needed - would be a better choice in my opinion, but I can still
envision all of the support calls for people who cannot even figure out
how to Insert a column in a spreadsheet.
I guess a better way to define what I'm asking for is:
(Nested) CONDITIONAL Page Styles
These would allow me to define styles like:
COND_STYLE1
{
If document1 has more than one page, use style1, else
If document has more than 2 pages, use style2, else
use style3
}
Does anyone else see a value in this?
Guess its time to go write up an enhancement request...
Thanks for making me think it through.
It seems that what you really want here could be described as:
if this is the last page, use page style 2 (e.g., Final Page), else
use page style 1 (e.g., Default)
This might be a fairly easy enhancement (if there's any such thing!),
because there already is a sensitivity to "last page" for other reasons.
The nesting you requested is a bit fuzzy. The results would be:
* For a one-page document, use style 3.
* For a two-page document, use style 1 (on both pages).
* For a document of three or more pages, use style 2 (on all pages).
But both style 1 and style 2 actually need two different footers, and no
single page style can specify that. If a single style could be made
context sensitive, having different footers for non-last and last pages,
you wouldn't need both style 1 and style 2 anyway.
For your particular situation, it seems to me that you'd currently be
best off by just having the signature line and legalese as text not to
be overwritten, and use the same footer on all the pages.
