I knew there was some reason I didn't like content controls in the header.
Beth Melton told me that the content controls in most of the stock headers
are like MacroButton NoMacro fields (overwritten when you type in them), but
that's obviously not true of all. I'm not up to speed enough on Word 2007,
much less CC, to have thought of this as an issue, though.

The issue was the that header text was entered into a Content Control.
They probably should not be able to be inserted into the Header and Footer
in the same way that it was not possible to insert formfields into the
Header and Footer. I have not thought too much about it however.

Hope this helps.

And you're definitely clicking Link to Previous to turn it OFF in Section
2?

I do. The status bar states Section 1 and Section 2. I double checked
that
when viewing the headers they also say Header - Section 1 and Header -
Section 2.
I just tried creating a new document to see if my original is corrupt,
but
I'm running into the same issue.

Do you actually have section breaks? Do the section numbers on the

Stefan:
Thanks for the notes below. However, my problem is that although I
am
turning off "Linked to Previous" they are staying linked. When I
make
changes to either sections headers it changes it for the entire
document.

Note that each section can have up to three different headers (and

which happens if "Different odd and even" and "Different first page"
are
both checked in the Page Setup dialog box. Each type of header
(footer)
must
be unlinked separately from its neighbor in the preceding section.
Also note that while "Different odd and even" is a setting for the
document,
"Different first page" can be checked or cleared individually for
each
section, which might contribute further to any confusion.

I have a document with five pages. At the end of page two is a
next-page
section break.
At the top of page one I inserted a header. Then I went to page
three
(the
first page of section two). I opened the header, clicked on "Link
to
Previous" and the "Same as Previous" went away. (as expected)
Next, I deleted the text in the header on page three and changed
it. I
close the header. Expected results: Pages one and two have
Header A
and
Pages three through five should have Header B. Actual results:
The
same
header through out.
I even tried going back and changing the header in section one
back to
what
it was supposed to be and it then changes through out.
Any suggestions?
