Dear George and Steve,
Thank you for the information. My question was based on a
one-time requirement to have single-sided embossing for the
entire document. And that's not a norm here!
We overcame the problem by adjusting the physical pages of
the brf file with the "search and replace" feature. But if
something similar to the "running header" code is available,
it would be very useful to enable and disable single-sided
embossing within a lengthy document.
Just wishing!
