Headers/Footers
I have a document with 36 sections in it. I'd like for the first page to have
one header and then for all other pages with the document to have a second header. It seems like I have to copy and past the header into each section of the document. Is there an easy to way to make the sections 2-36 headers the same? |

Headers/Footers
When you initially insert section breaks, all the headers and footers should
be linked (the Same as Previous or Link to Previous button on the Header and Footer toolbar is turned on). To create a different header in the first section, unlink just Section 2 from Section 1, leaving Sections 2-36 linked, and any text you put in the header of Section 2 will be repeated in the rest. Unless you really need a section break after the first page, you can use the "Different first page" setting (Layout tab of Page Setup) to get a First Page Header that you put that header text into, leaving the Header for the remaining pages/sections.

Headers/Footers
Headers and Footers have a property "Same as Previous", which is turned on by
default when you create a new section in a doc with headers. In your case, you want to TURN OFF Same as Previous in Sec. 2, and leave it ON for all subsequent sections. This property is controlled by a button on the H/F toolbar which appears when you click View \ Headers&Footers -- Ted |

Headers/Footers
Ok. Thanks! Now how about this. The first section spans about 5 pages. Again,
I want the first page to have one type of header and the remaining pages to have another type of header, which matches the remaining sections. "Suzanne S.

Headers/Footers
You will have to set up two headers, the first page hearder and the
continuation header (default header). Start with all sections marked Same as Previous. Then in section 2 - end change the section setting to not have a different first page header. The continuation header will become the header for every page in those sections. -- 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://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Headers/Footers
As stated, you need to enable "Different first page" in that section and
create your First Page Header different from the primary Header. -- Suzanne S.
