Header and Footer

[LenS]

Hi,

I am trying to design letterhead for my home business. I want to place my
logo centered on the top of the page and my address, phone, etc. on the
bottom. If the document happens to go to page 2, 3, etc. I don't want to
header on the subsequent pages. I tried going to page set up and placing a
check mark on different first page, but it still places the header on the
second page.

Any idea how I can accomplish this?

Regards,

Len

In order to have different headers on different pages, you need to make
sure that when you start onto page two or three of your document that
you make sure that you have a section break between the first page and
the rest of your other pages. This way you can tell MSWord to use a
different header or footer on the subsequent pages. In order to do this,
you need to open up the header or footer on the second page and choose
the option of Same as Previous and turn it off. This way MSWord won't
continue the header or foother from the page before it. The section
break indicates to MSWord that it does not have to follow the pages
ahead of it. On page three and so forth, you won't have to insert a
section break since it will follow whatever page two has. In order to
accomplish numbering pages to make it look like one document, you can
start the numbering on page two with the number 2 instead of the default 1.

Thank you Arcarius,

I tried that and it seems to work, however every time I type below page 2
thee section break moves to page 2 and then page two displays the logo from
page 1. What did I do wrong?

Thanks,

Len,

The reason why that is happening because the intentions behind creating
a different header/footer is that what you have on page one of your
document is something that is not continuing onto page two and so forth.
I hope that what you have on page one can stay on page one so that
when you get to the end of typing all the contents on page one, you stop
and move your cursor to page two and start typing the new stuff. As long
as MS Word thinks that you are typing on page one, it will continue to
adapt all of the formating that you started in page one, including
headers and footers. If you are finding that your document has contents
from page one that will be continuous, without any break, in your
document, you may need to think about the set up of the headers and
footers. There really isn't any elligant way of doing this but this is
what you have to work with in MS Word.

Len,

After answering your response, I realized that if you needed to have
something from page one continues onto page two and so forth, despite
what I said in my last response, you can always choose to type
everything you have inside a text box. A text box allows for continuing
whatever it is you write in another section of the document because you
can create linked text boxes. It is often used for publishing newsletter
where articles are continued on other pages with a teaser article on
page one. If this is what you are trying to accomplish or something
similar, you can create all of your text boxes on all the pages that you
want the text to flow into and just link them to each other. This way
you can keep the same header/footer format you have created and you can
also have text flow from one section of the document into another
without having MS Word mess with your header/footer.
