Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007
A friend with Word 2007 wants to have each new document automatically set up
so that it has a header starting at the second page. Years ago Suzanne gave me instructions on setting this up and I've used it ever since. But the same approach doesn't seem to work for Word 2007. |

Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007
Almost everything in Word 2007 works the same as in previous versions -
Finding the way to do it though can be a challenge Create the header that you want to start on the second page on the First page of the document, then on the Ribbon, select the Page Layout tab and then click on the arrow at the right hand end of the lower border of the Page Setup section of the Ribbon and then go to the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog and check the Different First Page box and then click on OK. The header that you had set up will then disappear, to reappear on the second and subsequent pages of the document. -- Hope this helps.

Doug thanks. I wasn't clear in my question. I want to set up the Normal
template so that each new Word document automatically has the header. Larry "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007
No you don't! The normal template should not have a header/footer as it will
conflict with other functions eg labels. If you want documents with header/footers, create a new document template and use that to create your documents, or insert the header footers as required with macro/autotext etc. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Larry wrote: Doug thanks.

Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007
Is this different under 2007 than under 97-2003? In my Word 97, I have a
set up I've had for years, in which there is a header in the normal template. In any new document that I create, as soon as it has more than one page, the second page automaticaly has a header. Conflicts with labels are not a concern here, since the person who needs this does not use that function. So, is there anything about 2007 that prevents me from doing what I do with 97?

Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007
If you have Normal.dot set up with "Different first page" and content only
in the Header (not in the First Page Header), this would not pose *as much* of a problem with labels, since you have to work at it to get more than one sheet, and when you merge them, each sheet is a separate section (all page 1s, as it were). -- Suzanne S.
