google docs
Is there a way to use custom footers per page in Google Docs?
Due to legal requirements our document needs to have the revision number on each page. As the pages are updated the revision number for each indvidual page will change. (We tried to use one revision number for the whole document, but that was not accepted.)
We currently use Word and start a new footer on each page.
The text in the footer is the same on all pages, it is just a number (1.4, 1.8, 1.7 etc) that changes.
nhinkle gives the germ of the answer.
Automatic corrections for → and ← are included as defaults. You just need to add your own for ↑ and ↓. (Maybe |^ and |v?)
While editing a document,
- Select Preferences from the Tools drop-down menu.
- Either deselect the checkbox next to the word for which you'd like to disable text substitution, or press the "x" to the right of the word to delete the row.
You have to set the language of the document first under File > Language, and a font selection menu option will appear.
You can't directly add a new font however, as fonts for use on Google Docs are powered by their Google Web Fonts service. You can only add fonts that are listed on that service. Instructions on how to do that are here http://support.google.com/drive/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=189190

Doesn't appear to be so. Google Docs isn't a full-fledged word processor after all.
What happens when text from one page gets pushed over to the other? Do they both get new revision numbers? Is it automatic?
Did you try uploading one of your Word documents and seeing how Google Docs converted it?
You might be able to fake something up by using the footnote feature in a non-standard way. Insert a footnote at the top of the page and the text for it should appear at the bottom of that page.
Whatever way you do it you're going to have to manually update each time.
