Headers In A Word Doc

N

Nelson Ferry

I am having trouble formatting my Word Document. I have
multiple pages in my document and several of them
represent attachments. I want to place a different header
on all of the attachment pages. I have inserted section
breaks and the headers still remain the same. I have
altered the page setup to adjust for a new first page and
the headers still stay the same. Is it even possible to
have a different header on every page of the document if
needed or can I only select between 2 different headers.
Any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks in advance
Nelson

The bit of information you seem to be missing is the 'Same as Previous'
button on the headers and footers toolbar. By default, the same header is
used for all sections, and editing the header anywhere in the document
applies the changes throughout.

However, if you select the header for any section but the first, you can
uncheck the 'Same as Previous' to break the connection between that header
and the preceding. Now, any changes you make will not apply to preceding
sections.

Changes you make will apply to all following sections unless the button has
been unchecked for the following sections also. For which reason it is
simplest, in your situation, to start at the end of the document and work
backwards.
