Header & Footer "This point foward" applies previous
I have a 20 page document. I want the first and second page not to have a
header/footer. When I try the option "this point foward, it applies it to the second page, even though I'm inserting it on page 3. Thank you in advance |

Header & Footer "This point foward" applies previous
Exactly what are you selecting that you think means "remove the
header/footer from these pages"? Cause I don't think that exists in Word. Anyhow. Go to the end of your second page. Insert | Break | Section Break Next Page. View Header and Footer. In the second section that you just created, click the "link to previous" icon on the header/footer toolbar, to turn it off. Put the header/footer that you want in the second section. Go to the previous section and delete any text in the header/footer. You might also need to go to File | Page Setup | Layout and make sure that you haven't turned on First Page Header or Odd/Even Headers because you thought they were the correct route to what you needed. They aren't. On 10/20/05 3:29 PM, "carole6722" wrote: I have a 20 page document. I want the first and second page not to have a header/footer.

Header & Footer "This point foward" applies previous
What I'm trying to do is select "this point foward" in document layout part
of the Header & Footer. I followed your instructions and it worked as far as not applying to the first and second page, which is great! However, it only applied to the page I did the footer on, P.3 and not the rest of the document. Again, I tried "Apply to this point foward" but it doesn't. And when I close the header and footer and then go back, the Apply to this point forward is back to the default "Apply to selection" so I'm not sure what to do. Thanks!

Header & Footer "This point foward" applies previous
"This point forward" just tells Word to insert a section break in the
document. This works only in the document body, not in the header/footer pane, which by default applies to the whole document/section. -- Suzanne S.
