Headers on odd and even pages
In MS Word 2007, I use the title of my document for the header. I would like
the header to be left-justified on even pages and right-justified on odd pages. Although I have clicked "different odd & even pages" in the "Design options" menu, the header always appears only on the left or only on the right (but does not alternate between odd and even pages). I didn't have this problem in previous versions of Word, so I know that I am doing something stupid. |

Headers on odd and even pages
When you select the "Different Odd & Even Pages" option, do you see "Odd
Page Header" or "Even Page Header" below the header area and above the footer area when you view the Header/Footer layer? Do you also happen to see something like "Even Page Header - Section 2"? If while in the Header/Footer and you click the Next Section/Previous Section commands in the Navigation group of the contextual Header Footer tools do you advance to other sections or headers/footers?

Headers on odd and even pages
In addition to checking the "Different Odd & Even Pages" checkbox, you must
also set up individual headers for the Odd and Even pages. In this respect, the requirements of Word 2007 are no different from those of earlier versions. -- Hope this helps.

Headers on odd and even pages
On the first page I see "First Page Header" (which I leave blank). I then click on "Next Section" which takes me to page 2 which says "Even Page Header". On page 2, I create a header that is left-aligned (using "paragraph" formatting). Then I click on "Next Section" which takes me to page 3 which says "Odd Page Header". On page 3, I create a header that is right-aligned (again using "paragraph" formatting). At this point, both page 2 and page 3 are right-aligned. If I go back to page 2 and left-align the header, then page 3 becomes left-aligned as well.

Headers on odd and even pages
Based on what you describe it sounds like you are doing everything
correctly - it really doesn't work any different than in previous versions. BUT I have another idea based on the details you provided. I suspect your Header style is set to Automatically update. To see if this is the case, follow these steps: - Press Ctrl+Shift+S to open the Apply Styles pane - Click in the Style name text box and type Header (it may appear as soon as you type the "H") - Click the Modify button - See if the option "Automatically Update" is selected. If so, deselect the option and then click OK Try the alignment of the text in your headers again and see if it now works. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Thank you, Beth; The "Automatically Update" option was selected. Deselecting it solved the problem.
