How to: header start pg 2, footer start pg 1

[Elizabeth A. Swoope]

Word 2002, Win2K

I'm obviously missing something that is very simple.

I want a header in my document that has the page number in
the upper right corner and I want it to start numbering on
page one, but start printing the number on page two (no
number on page 1).

I want the footer to start on page 1 and print on every
page. As far as I know, I did not specify separate
headers/footers for odd and even pages.

If I get the header to print correctly, for some reason
the footer prints only on the first page. This makes no
sense to me. The header and footer options should be
independent of each other.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

liz

Hi Elizabeth

The header and footer options aren't independent - if you set 'different
first page' (which is what you need to have a different header) then you
will have two headers and two footers. (If you also set 'different odd and
even, then you will have three of each.)

To get what you want, you just need to copy the footer from your main page
to your first page (or vice versa - wherever you've set it up), so they
match.
