Word 2003 Header Problem
I've checked all the messages and cannot find the answer to this problem.
Hopefully, someone here knows the answer! I need to create a unique header on page 2 of a multi-page document. Section breaks or page breaks didn't work. Breaking the link didn't work either. I actually tried to use an IF statement, but my skills are modest at best and could not get that to work either! Thanks for any help!!  -- Denna |

Word 2003 Header Problem
You were on the right track!
Create a section break for pages 1, 2, and 3, so that each is its own section. Now click on View-Header and Footer, and you will notice on page 2's header that it says "Same as previous". Simply click the box "Link to previous" to remove the link to page 1's header. You can do the same thing on page 3 and beyond to resume with the "normal" header. Hope this helps.

Word 2003 Header Problem
I should add that you must make sure that the cursor is on the page 2 header
when you "break the link". This worked perfectly for me in Word 2003. I was able to have a unique header on every page of my test document.

Word 2003 Header Problem
You can use an IF field:
{ IF { PAGE } = 2 "Text you want in the header" } Each pair of field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be typed from the keyboard) must be inserted using Ctrl+F9. With this construction, no section breaks are required. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Denna" wrote in message ...

Word 2003 Header Problem
If your document is only 3 pages, then you don't need section breaks
at all -- just enable "Different First Page" and "Different Odd and Even" in Page Setup, and don't enter anything in the Headers for the first and right-hand pages.

I tried using the if statment, I keep getting: Error! Missing test condition. What am I doing wrong?

Word 2003 Header Problem
That's perfectly fine.
You still create 3 section breaks, one for the first page, one for the second, and one for the rest of the document. Next view your Header and Footer. Go to page 2 and click in the Header box, then deselect the Link to Previous button, and create your header. You will then need to slide down to the header for page 3 and deselect the Link to Previous box, and delete the header that was placed in the box. (You can also go to page 3 and break the link there first so you don't have to delete the text at all) Now your page 2 will have a header, and no other pages will. Again, I just did this in Word 2003 as stated above and achieved your desired results. Hope this helps.
