I need to Delete the header and footer from just one page in the middle of
the document. The header and footer are linked to previous pages and I need to know how to unlink them from the previous page also. Thanks! |

Delete the header and footer from just one page in document?
Headers and footers are attributes of Sections, not of pages, with the
exception of the First Page header or footer that a Section can have. You therefore have a couple of choices: 1. Insert Section Breaks before and after the page in question and unlink the headers and footers in the section in which that page is located from the headers and footers in the preceding Section and also the ones in the following Section from the headers and footers in the Section with the page and then delete the content of the headers and footers in that Section. 2. If the headers and footers just contain simple text, used an If...then...Else... field construction that checks the page number and inserts the header and footer text if other than the page number on which you do not want it to appear. -- Hope this helps.

Delete the header and footer from just one page in document?
This makes no sense. The instructions don't help. Should MS Word just offer
an option on that Menu to check "do not include header on page 1" (because checking "different first page" does not eliminate the header from the first page. Then if I delete it from the first page, it disappears from all the other pages.)

Okay
I switched it from print view (pages) to normal view (streamed) and was able to insert the header after the section break and click "this point forward") and it did not appear on the first page. But MS should really simplify it by adding a button that simply says "DO NOT PUT HEADER ON PAGE ONE" or click or unclick something like "Header on first page," just as they do for numbering pages by letting you opt out of adding a number to page one by just simply clicking or unclicking "show number on first page." |

Delete the header and footer from just one page in document?
Checking "Different first page" *does* work because it gives you a separate
First Page Header, which you leave blank, putting the text for the remaining pages in the primary Header, which starts on page 2. -- Suzanne S.

Delete the header and footer from just one page in document?
I am going to give that a test run again, but it did not work the first time.
Right now, it worked when I was in section/normal view and simply clicked "this page forward" after the page 2 section break. "Suzanne S.

Delete the header and footer from just one page in document?
Selecting "This page forward" inserts a section break, which introduces
needless complexity. -- Suzanne S.

Delete the header and footer from just one page in document?
Hi Debbie
I have the easiest way to delete a header off first page. First click on header and footer then select page set up from the header menu. Once page setup window opens click on the tab "Layout" then select click the option " Different First Page" Here you are!!! Hope it helps "Debbie" wrote: I need to Delete the header and footer from just one page in the middle of the document.

Delete the header and footer from just one page in document?
The way it worked best is to insert a continuous section break at the bottom
of the last page with the repeat footer and then again at the bottom of the last page with the next set of footers. Then view the header footer and it shows the footer you want to change with a message same as previous on the top right. Clicking on the link switched that off so it could be unique.
