Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007
Thanks.
"Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... No, what you are asking for is still possible in Word 2007 in exactly the same way it was in previous versions. You *can* add a header or footer to the Normal template if you're determined to do, but we don't advise it. If you don't use Normal, then you have exactly the same options you had before. -- Suzanne S.

Sometimes you just have to tell people that what they want is not practical. Why not give them a toolbar button that will add the information with vba? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Larry wrote: But the person I'm helping wants this feature in all new documents, not just some. In other words, what is desired is that whenever a new document is created (no matter what the means of creating it), it will have this feature. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ... Not located in the Startup Folder and therefore not a Global Template. Just create a template with the header/footer information that you require and save it in the User or Work Group Templates folder and use it as the basis of any documents that you want to create that will automatically have the header and footer in them. Put a button on a Quick Access Toolbar to facilitate use of this template if you want. -- Hope this helps.

Ok, but I thought the instructions you gave me years ago, which I've used ever since, involved putting a header the Normal template. So I guess the idea is to put the header in a global template located in the StartUp folder? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... If you're asking me, I'm not using Word 2007, but I would never add a header or footer to Normal.dot. In fact, I don't customize any part of Normal.dot that affects documents (margins, font, etc.), only the UI (macros, AutoText, toolbar buttons, etc.). I use custom templates for all my documents. -- Suzanne S.

"Larry" wrote in message ... How do you set this up yourself, in your own Word 2007? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... 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.

"Larry" wrote in message ... 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? "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... 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. 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 ... 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.

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. |
