Word 2007 header with page number won't work
In Word 2007, when I insert a header and try to add a page number to it, it
blows the header away. How can I insert a header, add a page number, and have no page number or header on the first page. I've tried everything. Thanks in advance. Below is the workaround I'm using but surely there's a better way. To insert a page number in the top right-hand corner of the page, remove the page number from the first page, and create a second page header with text and a border: 1.From the Insert tab, Header & Footer group, click Page Number. 2.Click Top of Page. 3.Click Plain Number 3 from the gallery of designs to position the page number in the top right-hand corner of the page. You should now be inside the Header section with the page number showing and the document dimmed. Note: If the wrong page number is displayed, do this: From the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Page Number. Click Format Page Numbers. In the Start at box, type the desired number; click OK 4.From the Page Layout tab, click the Page Setup Dialog Box Launcher, and then click the Layout tab. Under Headers and footers, check Different first page; click OK. You should now be in the First Page Header section and the page number should be gone. Note: If the page number is still in the First Page Header, select the page number and cut it. 5.Scroll down until you see the header on the second page, and click inside it. You should be inside the Header section of the second page with the document dimmed. 6. Press Ctrl-L to align the text at the left. The page number will temporarily move to the left. 7.Type any desired text. 8.Press TAB twice to move the page number to the right margin. 9.Type Page and type a space. 10.Press END to move to the end of the page number in the header and press ENTER 1 time. 11.From the Home tab, Paragraph group, click the list arrow to expand the border list. 12.Click Horizontal Line. 13.Press Ctrl + A to select all text and change any fonts as desired, or select text individually and change any formatting as desired. 14.Double-click anywhere outside the First Page Header pane inside the document area to close the Design tab and to return to the document or click the Close Header and Footer button. The header should now be dimmed and the document should be active. Note that the first page header is blank and the second page should now have text, the page number, and a bottom border. 15.Double-click anywhere inside the header to reopen the header and the Header & Footer Tools with the Design tab, and double-click anywhere outside the header to close it. |

Word 2007 header with page number won't work
Hi, Doug--that information helped a lot to teach me about a lot of other
options I never even knew existed. Thank you!! Can you explain what [Type Text] is when I create a header? Here are my revised steps. I'm a textbook author if you're wondering why I'm so caught up in detail. 1. From the Insert tab, click the Header button; click Blank. 2. You will see [Type text] highlighted. Type the desired text, and press TAB twice to move to the right margin. 3. From the Design tab, click Page Number, Current Position, Plain Number. Note: If the wrong page number is displayed, do this: from the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Page Number. Click Format Page Numbers. In the Start at box, type the desired number; click OK. 4. Press Ctrl + A to select all header text and make any desired font changes. 5. Press the right arrow on the keyboard to deselect the text and to move to the line below the header. 6. From the Home tab, Paragraph group, click the list arrow on the Borders button, and click the Bottom Border button. 7. From the Design tab, click Different First Page. Note: You should now be in the First Page Header section and it should be blank. If the page number is still in the First Page Header, select the page number and cut it. 8.

Word 2007 header with page number won't work
The [Type text] that you are referring to is a Content Control. These are a
type of form element introduced with Word 2007 that can be entered into a document via the Controls chunk of the Developer tab to indicate a place in the document where the user should enter some information. -- Hope this helps.

It must have some good use or they would have just left the area blank. What
is the advantage of having it if people just type and delete it? "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: The [Type text] that you are referring to is a Content Control.

Word 2007 header with page number won't work
The way it's used in this particular feature, the Content Control is
simply a placeholder, a reminder that something is expected there. If you select the control and then click Developer (Controls chunk) Properties, you'll see that the option is checked for "Remove content control when contents are edited". This is the same function that used to be served by a MacroButton field pointing to a nonexistent macro (and that technique still works). Content controls have many other uses when that option isn't checked. Read as many of the articles at http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...s/default.aspx as you can manage -- start from the oldest (bottom of the list). -- 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.

Hi, Doug--that information helped a lot to teach me about a lot of other options I never even knew existed. Thank you!! Can you explain what [Type Text] is when I create a header? Here are my revised steps. I'm a textbook author if you're wondering why I'm so caught up in detail. 1. From the Insert tab, click the Header button; click Blank. 2. You will see [Type text] highlighted. Type the desired text, and press TAB twice to move to the right margin. 3. From the Design tab, click Page Number, Current Position, Plain Number. Note: If the wrong page number is displayed, do this: from the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Page Number. Click Format Page Numbers. In the Start at box, type the desired number; click OK. 4. Press Ctrl + A to select all header text and make any desired font changes. 5. Press the right arrow on the keyboard to deselect the text and to move to the line below the header. 6. From the Home tab, Paragraph group, click the list arrow on the Borders button, and click the Bottom Border button. 7. From the Design tab, click Different First Page. Note: You should now be in the First Page Header section and it should be blank. If the page number is still in the First Page Header, select the page number and cut it. 8. Scroll down to the second page to see the header which should now have text, the page number, and a bottom border. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: 1. From the Insert Tab, select Header 2.

Now, if you do not want the number on the first page of the document, check the Different First Page item in the Options Chunk of the Design tab. Of course the quicker way to do it is: 1. If the horizontal ruler is not visible, press hold down the Alt key and press u to display it. 2. Double Click in the top margin area of the document to open the Header pane. 3. Press the tab key twice to move to the right aligned tab stop 4. Press Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field delimiters { } 5. Inside them type "page" so that you have { page } 6. Press Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of field codes 7. Check the Different First Page item in the Options Chunk of the Design tab. -- Hope this helps.

In Word 2007, when I insert a header and try to add a page number to it, it blows the header away. How can I insert a header, add a page number, and have no page number or header on the first page. I've tried everything. Thanks in advance. Below is the workaround I'm using but surely there's a better way. To insert a page number in the top right-hand corner of the page, remove the page number from the first page, and create a second page header with text and a border: 1.From the Insert tab, Header & Footer group, click Page Number. 2.Click Top of Page. 3.Click Plain Number 3 from the gallery of designs to position the page number in the top right-hand corner of the page. You should now be inside the Header section with the page number showing and the document dimmed. Note: If the wrong page number is displayed, do this: From the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Page Number. Click Format Page Numbers. In the Start at box, type the desired number; click OK 4.From the Page Layout tab, click the Page Setup Dialog Box Launcher, and then click the Layout tab. Under Headers and footers, check Different first page; click OK. You should now be in the First Page Header section and the page number should be gone. Note: If the page number is still in the First Page Header, select the page number and cut it. 5.Scroll down until you see the header on the second page, and click inside it. You should be inside the Header section of the second page with the document dimmed. 6. Press Ctrl-L to align the text at the left. The page number will temporarily move to the left. 7.Type any desired text. 8.Press TAB twice to move the page number to the right margin. 9.Type Page and type a space. 10.Press END to move to the end of the page number in the header and press ENTER 1 time. 11.From the Home tab, Paragraph group, click the list arrow to expand the border list. 12.Click Horizontal Line. 13.Press Ctrl + A to select all text and change any fonts as desired, or select text individually and change any formatting as desired. 14.Double-click anywhere outside the First Page Header pane inside the document area to close the Design tab and to return to the document or click the Close Header and Footer button. The header should now be dimmed and the document should be active. Note that the first page header is blank and the second page should now have text, the page number, and a bottom border. 15.Double-click anywhere inside the header to reopen the header and the Header & Footer Tools with the Design tab, and double-click anywhere outside the header to close it. |
