Footer
Not sure how this was supposed to go, but I use 60 spaces in a cell, underlined, copy, ESC (which keeps the copy) and paste into the centre tab of the page footer. This gives me the best page bottom line I have been able to achieve, Then I clear the cell. Hope this helps. -- nc Wrote: Is there a way to put a line across each page using footer in page setup? -- Bryan Hessey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bryan Hessey's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=21059 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=534512 |

Footer
Go to File, Page Setup, Header/Footer, Custom Footer, Left Pane Put in 4 spaces and press Enter, then left arrow twice to get to line 1, and Shift-left arrow to select the 4 spaces, click the A (font details) and select Underline, Single. Click in between the underlined spaces and add enough spaces to cross your page. Down arrow to the next line, and click for &[Page] and then type London ~~~ etc press enter and type 'Ended' and press to get the date (or type your date) OK to close the window, and check in Preview, lengthen or shorten the underlined spaces to suit.
