Hi, I have another puzzle.
The first page of each new chapter (chapters are separated by a section break -next page)is different than the headers in the rest of the chapter. I have page numbering at the bottom, continuous through the whole document. However, if I set page number on for the first page of each chapter, the header changes to the same text as the header text in the rest of the chapter. So, either it seems I can say that the header is different for the first page, but I won't have a page number, or I have a page number on the first page, but the same header as in the rest of the chapter. I don't want that. I want a page number AND a different header. Any suggestions anyone? Thank you. |

Go to File Page Setup. On the Layout tab, check the 'Different First Page'
checkbox. This means that in each (or nominated) sections, the first page of the section has different headers and footers to the rest of the section. You can also choose whether all sections use the same first page and subsequent page headers, or whether they are entirely different for all sections. Probably worth creating a dummy document and experimenting, until you're comfortable with what's going on. "Frank Drost" wrote in message ... Hi, I have another puzzle.

To add to this explanation of what you *should* do, what you then
*shouldn't* do is try to insert or control the page numbers from Insert Page Number. Instead, work in Header and Footer view and add the page numbers in those headers where you want them. Note that 'Same as Previous' links headers and footers of the same type, so if all the chapters have the same format you will probably only need to set up one first page header and one follow-on header (or one each for recto/verso pages). -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Jezebel" wrote in message ...

Also, if you want the primary header in each chapter to include the chapter
title, it is not necessary to unlink the sections to achieve this, which can be accomplished with a StyleRef field. For more, see http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HeaderFooter.htm -- Suzanne S.
