Headers and Footers

[M]

I am filling in a table on word, this is a written document not numerical,
page one and two do not need headers, I have somehow managed to leaves
these out.
Page 3, 4 and 5 have the same header, this is fine, now I am stuck as to
what to do.
Pages 6 & 7 will have the same header (but different to 3 - 5),
then pages 8 & 9 will again need a completely different header, and so on.

Can anyone help me by explaining simple steps of what to do so that I can
achieve this.

Thank you.

How are the headers different from each other? If they should reflect
some text on the page, you could use StyleRef fields (assuming that
the text to reference has a specific character or paragraph style
applied). For more, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm.

If you need to perform other changes to headers (footers), you must
create sections and unlink headers, so that they can have different
contents. To insert a section break: On the Insert menu, click Break.
Click "Next page", and then click OK.

When you have the desired number of sections, click View>Header and
Footer. On the Header/Footer toolbar there is a button (depending on
your version of Word, the button may say "Link to previous" or "Same
as previous"). Click that button to turn off the linkage (which is
turned on by default for newly created sections).

Note that a section can have up to three types of headers (and
footers), namely, if you've enabled the "Different first page" and
"Different odd and even" options on the Layout tab of File>Page Setup.
If it does, you have to unlink each type of header (footer).

Note also, that you can have header rows in addition to page headers.
