Excel 2003 list of field codes for footers?
 

Hi - I am trying to add a "saved by" type of field to a custom footer in
Excel 2003. What I want is a document to print with footers that say who has
modified it last among some other fields. I was wondering if somewhere there
is a list of all the field codes (like "$[code]") available beyond what icons
you can click on when you open the custom footer dialog. I thought I saw a
list before in help on Excel but I can't find it again. I just want to be
able to write in new field codes for printing custom footers, and want more
complicated field codes than the 6 or 8 that Excel gives me automatically.

Also, is there a way to apply a footer made in one sheet to all sheets? I
have a lot of sheets in one book and don't want to repeat my entry.

Thanks!

There is no field code that I am aware of to enter the user name in a
header or footer. A macro would be necessary. The following are the
codes that can be used when writing a macro.
Some, maybe all appear to work when entered manually.

The macro code for a user name would look something like...
ActiveSheet.PageSetUp.LeftFooter = Application.UserName

Is there a way to adjust the spacing of text in a header field?

I am trying to set a 3 line right header and would like the entries to
appear left justified (on the right side of the page). I can't use the
&L because it moves everything completely to the left header.

What I have

Date 04/20/2006
Order# 12345
Recieved 03/01/2006

I would like this header to appear like this:

Date 04/20/2006
Order# 12345
Recieved 03/01/2006

but at the right of the page
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Not that I know of. You can fudge it by using spaces followed by a period.
Also, "i" before "e" except after "c".

Thanks for the tip Jim.

I had already tried using spaces followed by a period but didn't want
the period to show when printed. Therefore I changed the font size of
the period with &01 which works but then for subsequent lines the font
size has to be changed back, etc. This makes what should be a fairly
simple header into a mess, plus I'm running out of the 255 characters
Excel allows you for the header since there are other entries in the
left and center sections.

So I was hoping there would be a simpler way to do this with.

An unrelated website I found interesting.
