Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

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.

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

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.

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.

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.

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

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?

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

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).

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

Just by the way--I recently tested this with MacWord, and despite hiding
the header in the second page--the first page of labels *and* the
envelope continued to be as screwed up as if I had put the header on
every page. WinWord may differ, of course--I offer this as a curiosity.

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

Well, the problem is that if you ever touch the header in Normal.dot (or any
template), you are left with an empty paragraph in the header, which one
would expect to interfere with labels, but when you use Word's built-in
label definitions, it uses its built-in magic to set the header/footer
margin to 0" and somehow suppress any error messages about being outside the
printable area, so I've always been curious about whether putting a header
in Normal.dot would *really* cause problems with labels (much less
envelopes). It's nice to have confirmation of what I was beginning to fear
was just superstition or an old wives' tale.

Yep, it definitely did. I tested it because I wasn't sure I wasn't just
repeating conventional wisdom either--and yeah, the header text showed
up under my return address, and the "single sheet of labels" pushed the
last row onto the second page.

Although, now doesn't Word 2007 refuse to use a customized Normal if you
right-click somewhere and create new document? It pulls the settings
from somewhere else? I wonder if Word 2007 is smart enough to use that
"somewhere else" for labels and envelopes too.

No change -- Word 2007 behaves the same way, using Normal.dotm for the
label document and sticking in the header, even though it's the main
header rather than the first-page header and there is only one page.

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

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?

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).

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?

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.

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.

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

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.

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

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.

Why not give them a toolbar button that will add the information with vba?

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

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.

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.

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.

Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

Thanks.

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.

So, for the record, there's another thing that was possible with Word
97-2003, but not in Word 2007.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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).

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.

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.
