Standard global header and footer

[doltharz]

Is there a way to create standard headers and footers (one for portrait and one for landscape) to be used on almost ALL layouts without having to copy and paste it on all of them?

If I create an header and "group" all objects together and copy/paste it on all layouts THEN if I do change something on one layout, I'll have to change it on all layouts... and there is quite a lot of layouts in our systems.

The portal approach seems interesting but maybe there's another specific way to do so.

I'm still stuck with FM 7.

Thanks

I still concider myself n00b :

'Fraid not. What you are looking for is a master items facility which is not available in FM.

If you can use generic headers/footers (Created as a graphic.) A global Container field could be used or a relationship to a prefenace table that holds it in a normal container field(2nd option will work better in a multi-user enviroment). This might be usefull for letterhead type functionality or just for Logos but useless for page #'s, Report names, ...
