Using the File / Printing-Settings / Header-and-Footers you can set up headers and footers, but the scope for tailoring the results to your specialised requirements seems to be rather limited. Here are some examples that have defeated me. I am using Mathematica version 6. 1. How would you do an exceptional case if it fell on any page other than the first? It seems that I have to break up my document into small fragments, where each exceptional case lands on the first page of one of the document fragments, or something like that. Surely, there must be a better way? 2. How would you print page numbers as Roman numerals (e.g. as in document front matter)? I could do this if I had access to the kernel to do the translation, but I can't see how to do this kernel-based computation for headers and footers. Of course, I might not be looking in the right place in the documentation. 3. And, of course, the general case. How would you implement arbitrary programmatically generated headers/footers? -- Stephen Luttrell West Malvern, UK
