Editing the Page Type for Page Footers and Headers

When you add page footer and header proxies for Microsoft Word output, you can specify which types of pages (all, even pages, first page, odd pages) should display the footers or headers. This can be done at the time you insert the proxy (see Adding Page Header and Footer Proxies), but you can also use the following steps to set the page type on a style. Therefore, that page type will always be used as the default setting, unless you override it at the spot where you have inserted the proxy.
