Headers and Footers
Word 2002
There is a Page Setup option in Headers and Footers and a box that you can check for 'Different first page' I want the Header in the first page to be larger size and bolder, and all subsequent pages to have the same info but smaller type and light grey colour. How do you use the 'Different first page' option to do that? Thank you |

You will have to set up each one separately from the sizing/format point of
view, though you can do a copy and paste to save having to re-enter the data. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

If you check the Different first page option and then go into the Headers/Footers area, you will see that you have options for First Page Header followed by Headers. You will need to uncheck the Same as Previous option (on the Header and Footer toolbar) which will allow you to have different Headers. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Peter" wrote in message ... : Word 2002 : : There is a Page Setup option in Headers and Footers and a box that you can : check for 'Different first page' : : I want the Header in the first page to be larger size and bolder, and all : subsequent pages to have the same info but smaller type and light grey : colour. : : How do you use the 'Different first page' option to do that? : : Thank you : : : |

Thanks
I've managed half what I wanted to do. The bit I'm still stuck on is that I cannot change the colours from the First page to the others. Basically I want to repeat the first page header on all other pages, but with smaller type (which I have managed) but also with the letters of a different colour (say, blue on the first and grey on the others) This last bit I cannot do.

Do you know how to change colors in the main text? It should be the
same--select the letter in the regular header and use Format | Font or the text color icon on the formatting toolbar.

It is not necessary to unlink the headers. If there is only one section,
they are not linked to anything anyway. Headers are linked only like to like: First Page Header to First Page Header, Header to Header. If the Header were linked to the First Page Header, there wouldn't be much point in the "Different first page" setting! -- Suzanne S.

When you check the box for "Different first page," you get two entirely
separate headers, the First Page Header and the Header (you will need to have at least two pages in your document to see this). Create the text you want in the First Page Header, then copy/paste it into the Header (or vice versa). Make the required changes in font size and color. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne
....but that's the whole problem That is exactly what I did, but I wanted normal black for the fiirst page and grey for the rest. When I look at the first page header before closing it is black, but as soon as I close the Header and Footer both first page and subsequent pages take the grey colour and the fist page heade is no longer black. Something is obviously wrong but I can't see what. Thanks peter "Suzanne S. Barnhill" escreveu na mensagem ...

When you close the header/footer, the header/footer text will appear to
be gray in Print Layout view, but it should print correctly.

Text and graphics in headers and footers are always dimmed when you are
working in the document body (and vice versa). To see how the document will look when printed, see Print Preview (though I have known that view to show headers incorrectly as well). -- Suzanne S.

As well as the correct answer to the 'grey' look given by G-n-O and Suzanne,
also make sure that under the Header Style you do not have the Automatically Update checkbox ticked. But I expect that they are on the ball here.
