Second reply. I just realized my question got posted multiple times on this
forum. I submitted only one. Apparently I can't even get that right.

I have been to countless sites, read countless FAQ's and various articles on
this particular question. I have also been to training and forums at
Microsoft Office. I download and print the articles and attempt to add the
author and title, only to have it mess up the numbering. Isn't there
somehwere to get a step by step to do what I want to do? Only then will I be
able to determine what box I am checking or not checking, etc. I can format
for page numbers, make the first page different and break the document into
front and main text with different numbering system. When I try to use
'different page', etc. to add the author and title, everything gets screwed
up. Contrary to what might seem obvious, I am intelligent and have a better
than average vocabulary, but this thing is eluding me somehow. I'm sorry to
be a pest, but I have followed whatever leads you and others have directed me
to. I need a step by step, it's as simple as that.

I have been working for most of several days to accomplish one thing,
which
is still eluding me. I am working with Word 2003.

I have written a novel. I have broken it into two sections. The first
section contains the front matter with lower case Roman numerals. The
second
section contains Arabic numerals. Both sections have 'different first
page'
checked off on page layout and they look fine.

What I am now attempting to do is Put the title of the book on odd pages
and
the author name on the even pages. I have tried everything I can possibly
think of, and chased down innumerable tutorials on the Internet for doing
this. As with the other sections, I am attempting to leave Title off the
first page.

I have been playing with adding sections, turning the 'same as previous'
on
and off, 'different odd and even', etc. but still, no matter what I do, I
end
up messing up what I have previously done.

I would GREATLY appreciate a step by step instruction on how to accomplish
the foregoing. By using that, I will be able to determine what I did or
did
not do correctly. I am at wits end, and would appreciate whatever help
you
can give me.
