If it deleted the header on all pages then either it wasn't the First Page
Header or you had (linked) First Page Headers on all the pages.

I tried this already and it deleted the headers on all pages. In this
template, I had to type it on the second page and select different first
page
for it to work. Again, if I pulled up a new template, it worked as
expected.
If it happens again I will try and determine what exactly is going on,
but
the first time I am pretty sure I used the same procedure I have always
used
as per described in my earlier post.

Press Ctrl+Home to get to the top of your document, then go to View |
Header
and Footer. You should be in the First Page Header. Does it contain
text? If
so, delete it.

I am sorry, I do not understand what you mean by duplicating the
contents
of
your header into the first page header. Do you mean that the header
was
typed in twice on the first page. Say once in the begining, then
after
selecting different first page, retyping the header in the first page
again??? I am not sure what you mean, please explain so I can figure
out
what happened.

Somehow, as Suzanne pointed out, you have duplicated the contents of
you
"header" into the "first-page header." Call up your template and
delete
the
contents of your first-page header.

If this doesn't do it, you have an errant continuous section break
on
your
first page somewhere.

I am doing this correctly and it has worked fine int the past. It
was
this
one time trying to put a header on all pages but the first, even
with
the
check on "Different First Page" the header showed on the first
page
as
well.
It was weird. Pulled up a blank template and tried it, worked
fine.
Just
not on the template, identical to the blank, I was wokring in at
the
time.
Had to go to the second page and try the header there with the
different
first page check, then it worked. If I copied what I typed to the
same
but
new (blank) template it worked fine. Strange. That is why I
asked
the
question regarding an intermitent problem with the header feature.
I
know
that this is true with the autotext auto correct feature when
expecting it
to
always popup with a suggestion 100% of a time. I use F3 now,
which
works
much better.

This is not a known intermittent problem in Word. It is probably
directly
related to how your template is set up. Take a look at: How to
set up
letterhead or some other document where you want one header on
the
first
page and a different header on other pages.
http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives
step-by-step
instructions.


Hope this helps,

My understanding is that when you want to insert a header that
will
not
appear on the first page but will on all subsequent pages all
you
need
to
do
is: click on view / header - type header on first page /
click
on
page
setup on header toolbar / click on layout tab / click on
different
first
page
/ apply to whole document / click OK Then the header will
appear
on
page
2 and on subsequent pages but not on page one. However, when I
did
this
in a
template I have for work it showed up on all pages. If I
pulled up
a
new
template and tried it again it worked. Is there a better way
to
set
these
up
and is this some type of problem in Word 2003 that causes this
to
happen
intermitently.
