Setup different page headers in templates
Word 2007. I like to create templates where the header on the first page is
different than on subsequent pages. For example, I only want the date on the first page and only page numbers on subsequent pages. However, my templates usually open with only one page. So, what I do when setting them up is force them to have more than one page (say by adding lots of paragraph marks) and then I format the second header different than the first one. Then I delete all the paragraph marks to return to one page and save the template. Is there a simpler way? |

You might try reversing the order of operations: - In the one-page template, first create the header/footer for pages 2 and later (this is the "primary" header/footer). - Then launch the Page Setup dialog and check the "Different first page" box. - When you click OK in the dialog, the primary header/footer will disappear. Instead, you'll see the empty first-page header/footer. Create what you want there, and save the template. Word will remember the primary header/footer, which will appear whenever a document reaches page 2. The alternative is to continue what you're doing. Instead of a lot of paragraph marks, you can put in a manual page break by pressing Ctrl+Enter, and you can delete that to return to one page. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
