Header and footer
I have created a company header and footer. Word applies it to every page.
Under Page Setup, I can set it to apply the header and footer to odd pages only. I want to apply the header and footer only to the first page and not the rest. If I select different first page, the first page does not get a header and footer, but the rest do....! How do I get the header and footer only on the first page? |

In Header and Footer view, you need to cut the header and footer content
from where they are, and paste into the first page header and footer areas. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Peter Downes" wrote in message ...

First, do _not_ make such modifications to normal.dot
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm) and you should _not_ be sharing normal.dot among users. (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811468) Second, when you first type a header and then apply the "different first page" setting your header becomes the continuation page header. You may want to 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. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.
