"Link to Previous" greyed out - why?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

What did you think it was a link to? It's a link to the previous
header/footer of the same type. Since there is only one header/footer of
each type per section, there can't be a previous one if there's only one
section.

Found the answer to my own question: a doc without section breaks, has no
need for "link to previous" so it's greyed out. IF MSoft had named it

"Link

to previous SECTION" it would have helped alleviate this confusion.

ALL footers in my doc have the 'link to previous' button greyed out.
How do I make the button stop being greyed out?
There are other posts that pretend to answer this question, but they

refer

you to articles which refer you to other articles until you are stuck in

a

quagmire of useless information that never addresses this simple

question.

Thanks

Hi =?Utf-8?B?SnVzdFNvbWVHdXk=?=,

IF MSoft had named it "Link
to previous SECTION" it would have helped alleviate this confusion.

I think they may have worried about the toolbar button getting too
long with so much text on it :-)
