Default Behaviour of header/footer dialog


The toolbar doesn't bother me. The wierd behaviour, as I said, is:

"At certain spots if I double-click on the header of one page, it will
skip to another page, and the header will become editable. But then
when I hit "close" on the header/footer dialog, it goes back, and it
was the header on the initial page that was changed after all."

And in general, with my installation of Word (2003) there seems to be
no rhyme or reason when I edit headers. If I double click on a header
to edit it, Word might suddenly jump to the header on a whole other
page, not even in the same section. In addition to this problem, I've
seen cases where I change one header and all headers above it change,
even when "Same as Previous" is not selected.

When you double-click in the header pane, you are editing the header that
appears on that page. But it may not start on that page; Word may jump to
the first page of the section, or the first page on which that header
appears (if you have "Different first page" or "Different odd and even"
enabled). This is normal.
