Headers
I need some help with my headers. I have a document of 15 pages. I want to
add a header to page 3 (I don't want any headers on page 1 and 2). The page 3 header should run to page 5. I want a new header on page 6 that will run through the remaining pages of my document. I use Word 2002. How do I accomplish this? I have done some experimenting on my own, but everything I have tried has been a disaster. I need help! Hope someone can help! Please, when you tell me what to do, explain as simply as possible since I'm a bit of a Word dummie. Thanks! Heni |

Headers
You'll need section breaks. See

Headers
Insert a section break between pages 2 and 3, and another between
pages 5 and 6. Your document will now have three sections. With the cursor in the headers of section 2, on the Header toolbar, click the Same As Previous button to turn it off. Repeat that action in thee header of section 3. Then each section can have a different header, independent of the others. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Headers
I tried creating a section, but it didn't turn out so good. This is what I did.
1. I placed my marker in front of my headline on page 3 (on top of the page). 2. From the menu, I chose Insert / Break / Odd page. What happens now is that page 3 is blank because all my text has jumped down to the next page (4). 3. From the menu, I chose View / Header and Footer. In the header I typed my name. Then I closed down the Header and Footer toolbar. What happens now is that my blank page 3 has a header, BUT SO DOES PAGE 1!! Page 2 has no header. This is true for all other pages in my document. I can move my text up to page 3 again, but this doesn't change anything regarding the header situation. I have tried this on several different documents, and the same thing happens every time. In short, why do I get a header on my first page?? And what do I have to do not to get it? I am very confused about this. Hope you can help! Thanks, Heni "Suzanne S.

Dear Jay,
I did as you instructed, and the same problem remains as I described in my previous posting. I get a header on page 3 AND 1 (all other pages in my document remain without headers). I don't understand why I keep getting a header on page 1 as well. I certainly don't want it there! Heni |

If so, you haven't turned that off as instructed. Also, in the upper left corner, does it say "Odd Page Header" or just "Header"? If you switch to Normal view, can you see the section breaks? What does it say in the middle of the break? -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Dear Jay,
1. I have turned off 'Same as previous', but my original problem remains. 2. In my upper left corner its says 'First header - Section 2'. 3. When I switch to Normal view, I can see my section break (between page 2 & 3. It says 'Section break (next page)' in Swedish because I'm using a Swedish edition.

Headers
You must either unlink the related headers before inserting text or delete
any unwanted text from a given header after unlinking them. -- Suzanne S.

Headers
Suzanne,
Your advice helped!!!! I simply deleted the text in the header on page 1, and that was all it took!! Can you tell I'm a computer dummie!?! LOL I have now been able to make different headers for my pages (which I'm very happy about), but a new problem has arisen. The numbers on the pages are all screwed up. When I inserted my second break (between pages 5 and 6), the numbering starts from 1 in the footer (instead of continuing from the last page, so the numbering would be 6). I tried changing the number 1 in the footer to number 6, and turned off 'Same as Previous'. What happend now is that every page in my document is numbered 6. Any tips on what I can do to solve the numbering situation? Thank you very much! Heni |

Headers
The fact that the upper left corner says 'First header - Section 2'
indicates that in the File Page Setup Layout dialog, the 'Different first page' option is checked. - Open the header area in Section 2, and select and copy the text you want to have on page 3 and the following pages. - On the Header toolbar, click the Page Setup button (this goes to the same dialog as File Page Setup, but it's quicker). Click the Layout tab. Uncheck the 'Different first page' option. Click OK. - In the header area, it should say 'Header - Section 2' without the 'First', and there may be no text in the header. Make sure the right side does not say 'Same as Previous'. Paste in the text if necessary. - On the Header toolbar, click the Show Previous button to go to the Section 1 header and make sure it's empty. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Headers
Click the Format Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar.
Set the numbering to "Continue from previous section." Click OK. Then make sure that you do not type the number in, but that you use the Insert Page Number button to add it. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Heni" wrote in message ...
