I am using Word 2007 for a document which is about 100 pages, with about 20
chapter titles which I appear as headers on the even pages. The title of the
document appears as a header on odd numbered pages beginning with page 3. I
have made a contents page which is page 2. Page 1 is a title page (not a MS
Cover Page) and has no header since I have checked €œDifferent First Page€� in
the page layout. My problem is that the title of the first chapter €œPreface€�
appears as a header on page 2, the contents page. How can I eliminate this
one header?

Insert a section break between the cover page and the contents page; page 2
will then be the first page of a new section and will use the empty First
Page Header. Alternatively, if you're using a StyleRef field to generate the
header content, put an empty paragraph in that style on page 2.

StyleRef fields are a bit beyond my meager abilities, but your first
suggestion worked fine. Thanks, Suzanne.

There's really nothing difficult about StyleRef fields, and even if you
require section breaks for other reason, they can save you from a lot of
unlinking and changing headers (which it sounds as if you're doing, with 20
chapter titles). See Word's Help on the StyleRef field for the general
principles and http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm for some
refinements.
