Wow! thank you, this is just what I wanted. I'll have to look into this "on-the-fly" feature further, it looks handy. But I can easily accomplish my goal now. I assume it will work for the footer properties too. This solution is even better than my suggestion because it will accomodate first pages that are even or odd. Thanks again.
