Sometimes you just have to tell people that what they want is not practical.
Why not give them a toolbar button that will add the information with vba?

But the person I'm helping wants this feature in all new documents,
not just some. In other words, what is desired is that whenever a
new document is created (no matter what the means of creating it), it
will have this feature.

Not located in the Startup Folder and therefore not a Global
Template. Just create a template with the header/footer information
that you require and save it in the User or Work Group Templates
folder and use it as the basis of any documents that you want to
create that will automatically have the header and footer in them.
Put a button on a Quick Access Toolbar to facilitate use of this
template if you want.

Ok, but I thought the instructions you gave me years ago, which
I've used ever since, involved putting a header the Normal template.

So I guess the idea is to put the header in a global template
located in the
StartUp folder?

If you're asking me, I'm not using Word 2007, but I would never
add a header or footer to Normal.dot. In fact, I don't customize
any part of Normal.dot
that affects documents (margins, font, etc.), only the UI (macros,
AutoText, toolbar buttons, etc.). I use custom templates for all
my documents.

How do you set this up yourself, in your own Word 2007?

If you have Normal.dot set up with "Different first page" and
content only in the Header (not in the First Page Header), this
would not pose *as much* of a problem with labels, since you
have to work at it to get more than one sheet, and when you
merge them, each sheet is a separate section (all page 1s, as it
were).

Is this different under 2007 than under 97-2003? In my Word 97,
I
have
a
set up I've had for years, in which there is a header in the
normal template. In any new document that I create, as soon as
it has more
than
one page, the second page automaticaly has a header.

Conflicts with labels are not a concern here, since the person
who needs this does not use that function.

So, is there anything about 2007 that prevents me from doing
what
I
do
with
97?

No you don't! The normal template should not have a
header/footer
as
it
will
conflict with other functions eg labels. If you want documents
with header/footers, create a new document template and use
that to create your documents, or insert the header footers as
required with macro/autotext etc.

Doug thanks. I wasn't clear in my question. I want to set
up the Normal template so that each new Word document
automatically has
the
header.

Almost everything in Word 2007 works the same as in previous
versions - Finding the way to do it though can be a challenge

Create the header that you want to start on the second page
on the First page of the document, then on the Ribbon,
select the Page
Layout tab and then click on the arrow at the right hand end
of
the
lower border of the Page Setup section of the Ribbon and
then
go
to
the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog and check the
Different
First Page box and then click on OK.

The header that you had set up will then disappear, to
reappear
on
the second and subsequent pages of the document.

A friend with Word 2007 wants to have each new document
automatically set up
so that it has a header starting at the second page. Years
ago Suzanne gave
me instructions on setting this up and I've used it ever
since. But the same approach doesn't seem to work for Word
2007.
