If you have enabled "Different first page," then the header on the first
page is the First Page Header, which you must leave blank. If deleting
content from the First Page Header is deleting content from the headers on
subsequent pages, then they are also (linked) First Page Headers, which
means that you must have section breaks between your pages (the First Page
Header is, by default, repeated on the first page of each section). This
would be expected in, for example, a letter-type mail merge, where each
letter is created as a separate section.

If you like, you can send me a *small* sample of the problem document, and
I'll take a look at it.

Sue, let me make sure I am understanding you correctly. If I type a
header
in the first page header section it should appear as a header on all pages
unless I have checked different first page. Now in my scenario, I had
done
this and the header still appeared on the first page. Deleted it in the
first page and all headers were deleted as if the different first page was
not checked. If the different first page option is not checked, whenever
the
header is deleted on any page, all headers are deleted. I thought this
was
normal behavior for headers and footers.

If it deleted the header on all pages then either it wasn't the First
Page
Header or you had (linked) First Page Headers on all the pages.

I tried this already and it deleted the headers on all pages. In this
template, I had to type it on the second page and select different
first
page
for it to work. Again, if I pulled up a new template, it worked as
expected.
If it happens again I will try and determine what exactly is going
on,
but
the first time I am pretty sure I used the same procedure I have
always
used
as per described in my earlier post.

Header

text? If
so, delete it.

I am sorry, I do not understand what you mean by duplicating the
contents
of
your header into the first page header. Do you mean that the
header
was
typed in twice on the first page. Say once in the begining, then
after
selecting different first page, retyping the header in the first
page
again??? I am not sure what you mean, please explain so I can
figure
out
what happened.

Somehow, as Suzanne pointed out, you have duplicated the
contents of
you
"header" into the "first-page header." Call up your template and
delete
the
contents of your first-page header.

If this doesn't do it, you have an errant continuous section
break
on
your
first page somewhere.

I am doing this correctly and it has worked fine int the past.
It
was
this
one time trying to put a header on all pages but the first,
even
with
the
check on "Different First Page" the header showed on the
first
page
as
well.
It was weird. Pulled up a blank template and tried it, worked
fine.
Just
not on the template, identical to the blank, I was wokring in
at
the
time.
Had to go to the second page and try the header there with the
different
first page check, then it worked. If I copied what I typed to
the
same
but
new (blank) template it worked fine. Strange. That is why I
asked
the
question regarding an intermitent problem with the header
feature.
I
know
that this is true with the autotext auto correct feature when
expecting it
to
always popup with a suggestion 100% of a time. I use F3 now,
which
works
much better.

This is not a known intermittent problem in Word. It is
probably
directly
related to how your template is set up. Take a look at: How
to
set up
letterhead or some other document where you want one header
on
the
first
page and a different header on other pages.
http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives
step-by-step
instructions.


Hope this helps,

My understanding is that when you want to insert a header
that
will
not
appear on the first page but will on all subsequent pages
all
you
need
to
do
is: click on view / header - type header on first page /
click
on
page
setup on header toolbar / click on layout tab / click on
different
first
page
/ apply to whole document / click OK Then the header
will
appear
on
page
2 and on subsequent pages but not on page one. However,
when I
did
this
in a
template I have for work it showed up on all pages. If I
pulled up
a
new
template and tried it again it worked. Is there a better
way
to
set
these
up
and is this some type of problem in Word 2003 that causes
this
to
happen
intermitently.
