IF First Page Header and IF Page 1

[Debra Farnham]

Hi All

Win2k Word2K

Is there a way, programatically, to insert a specific header IF the current
page is numbered page 1 AND it is a first page header ELSE some other
header?
The page could be numbered page 1 but not necessarily page count 1 due to a
variety of section breaks prior to this area of the document.

All headers (regardless of whether they're first page headers or not in
their specific sections) will contain the page number. It's what follows in
the next two or three paragraphs following the page numbering in the header
that will vary.

TIA for any assistance.

Programmatically, you can do anything you like with the headers. It's not
quite clear what you're trying to achieve here: I don't understand what you
mean by "if it's a first page header", nor the significance of the
paragraphs following the header.

Is this the task? -- For each page in the document, if the page is numbered
"1" and that page is the first page of a section that has 'different first
page' headers, then insert new header A, else insert new header B.

Use the following test

Dim aheader As HeaderFooter
For Each aheader In ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers
If aheader.Index = wdHeaderFooterFirstPage And
aheader.Range.Information(wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber) = 1 Then
MsgBox "It's the firstpage header with pagenumber 1"
End If
Next aheader
