  2. In the source document, double-click on the header/footer area to activate it.
  3. Select the entire header/footer by clicking and dragging over it.
  4. Press Ctrl+C to copy the header/footer to the clipboard.
  5. Switch to the destination document and double-click on the header/footer area to activate it.
  6. Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon.
  7. Click on the "Header" or "Footer" button, depending on which one you want to insert.
  8. Choose "Edit Header" or "Edit Footer" from the drop-down menu.
  9. Press Ctrl+V to paste the copied header/footer into the destination document.

To copy the main header/footer to the first page header/footer, follow these steps:
  1. Double-click on the header/footer area of the main header/footer.
  2. Select the entire header/footer by clicking and dragging over it.
  3. Press Ctrl+C to copy the header/footer to the clipboard.
  4. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon.
  5. Click on the "Page Setup" button in the lower-right corner of the "Page Setup" group.
  6. In the "Page Setup" dialog box, click on the "Layout" tab.
  7. Check the box next to "Different first page" under the "Headers and footers" section.
  8. Click on the "OK" button to close the dialog box.
  9. Double-click on the header/footer area of the first page header/footer.
  10. Press Ctrl+V to paste the copied header/footer into the first page header/footer.

You can now edit the main header/footer without affecting the first page header/footer.
