Default headers

This is driving me crazy! On my documents I have to put in a running head and
a page number, but when I put the second one in, the first one
disappears!!!For example: Running head: title of paper
1
It doesn't matter if I put the title first or the number both will not stay
.. I have looked at numerous help tutorials and tried to to troubleshoot but
no luck.

Default headers

If you are inserting a header via the gallery in Word 2007, note that one
header will replace the other. First insert the title and then activate the
header and footer area (for example by double-clicking the header). Now,
insert the page number via the Header & Footer Tools Design tab: Click Page
Number, and then click Current Position; choose the format that you want.

Default headers

Do you have "Different first page" enabled? Page Setup | Layout. Make sure
that different first page is not checked. By the way which version of Word
are you using?
