need help with headers and footers
Hi to all,
I want to place my name and qualifications at the top of the first page of my letters and on subsequent pages only to have a reference number and page number displayed at the top. Across the bottom of first and subsequent pages I want to display contact details. If I write a brief one-page letter then I only want the first page to print without the subsequent pages to print with redundant header and footer Information. Can this be done? Can you have totally separate and independent headers and footers for first and subsequent pages? One of the problems I have experienced is when I "insert Page number" and check not to display on page 1, the footer information disappears from view. This is irrespective of whether the page number has been placed in the header. Many thanks for your help! Sam |

First, don't use "Insert Page Number," ever.
Everything you want to do can be done, fairly easily. 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). 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.

Thanks Charles
Quite a bit of reading to plod through but will give it a go. I suspect if you add a separate second page header with or without page number then everytime you use that template it will print a second page, even if you've typed only a few words on the first page.The only way around this is to go into print setup each time and choose print first page only from the print range.Do you know if there is another way that automatically ignores a second page if unused apart from header info?

Hi Sam
You suspect wrong g. All you have to do to get different headers and footers on first and subsequent pages is use File Page Setup Layout and check "different first page". Add a page break so that you have two pages to work on while setting up the headers and footers, and work in Header and Footer view to add the items you want on the two different headers and footers. Then delete the second page and save the template. When you create a new document from the template it will just have the first page header and footer, but if and when it runs onto the second page, the second page header and footer will spring back into life. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Sam Lewis" wrote in message ...

You don't need to permanently (or ever) have a second page in your template
to have two different headers. Margaret gives the most straight-forward way to create them. The way I use these days is to first set the document to _not_ have a different first page, then create the continuation header as the header. I then, while in header/footer view, use the page setup button on the toolbar to change to have a different first page header. When I close that dialog and return to header/footer view, I can create the first page header. The continuation header will pop up if the document actually has a second page and otherwise will remain invisible. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Thank You Margaret,
That is awesome. I had to look up how to delete a page in Word (Normal viewshow page breaksdelete) but now works like magic. Sam "Margaret Aldis" wrote in message ... Hi Sam You suspect wrong g.

Yes very clever Charles and thank you. I believe this is probably a more
streamlined way of achieving the desired result when starting a document from scratch. I now have two ways of solving a problem I thought was "just one of those things you have to put up with".:-) Cheers Sam "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ...
