Final Draft 6 - Help me, I'm Inept

Question

[nq:1]From my eariler posting I asked if there was a way to make the revisionmarks in the HEADER show up ... revisions. I've tried my best to find this answer by myself, but I guess my inexperence is showing through again.[/nq]
So I beg someone, Is there some way to have the revision marks in the header, show up only on the pages with the revisions on them, and could you please tell me what that way is?

It may be that Final Draft will not allow you to do this to be done easily. I don't use Final Draft and I've not had any reason to use the Production features in Movie Magic Screenwriter, but I've been researching your problem on Final Draft's website and it looks like (at the very least) it will require a lot of extra work.
I think you can do it by using the Label tab instead of the Revision tab in your Headers and Footers set up. Apparently the way Final Draft works is that, when you put the cursor at the top of the page you want the special text (Label) to show up in "First Revision" for example then you click on "Insert Label" in the document menu. You then type in your label "First Revision" or whatever and now that label will appear in the header of every page that follows.

To change that, go to the next page you don't want the "First Revision" to show up in, do the same thing, except enter a space now every page that follows this "space" Label will be blank. Go to the next page that needs the "First Revision" header and do the same and on through to the end of the document.
It doesn't sound easy, but I don't it would take too long and, apparently, it will work.
