Did you see my reply to your first posting? I think if you read those
referenced articles things will become clearer, but here are the essentials:
1. You can have up to three different headers/footers in any section: First
Page Header, Even Page Header, Odd Page Header. When you check the box for
"Different first page," you can apply it to a specific section or the entire
document. "Different odd and even," when enabled, applies to the whole
document.
2. Except when using a StyleRef field in a header (see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm), you will need to add a
section break every time you want to change the content of any one of these
three headers/footers, *and* you must unlink that header/footer in the new
section from the corresponding one in the previous section.
3. If you want to have different running heads on recto and verso pages, you
need to check "Different odd and even." If you want to omit the head on the
first page of a chapter, you need to check "Different first page."
4. Generally speaking, if your running heads will be mostly the same
throughout the document (or will use a StyleRef field to pick up the chapter
title), it's easier to insert their content *before* inserting the section
breaks (or at least before unlinking the headers if required).
Again, I refer you to these articles:

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.
