No header on first page

[Craig Fletcher]

Hello,

I would like to be able to NOT include the header on just the first page of
my document, because I want the first page to be the Table of Contents. Any
advice?

Thanks!

Great! I went out to the Word MVP page after reading other posts and figured
this out. Greg, I should have done this in the first place. Bad Netiquette
on my part.

However, I have another issue... so I figured out a different header on
first page, but I want different margins on the first page as well,
specifically smaller ones, so I have more room for a fairly lengthy TOC. I
tried the MVP site, but was unable to find something.

Thanks in advance!

Craig

Craig,

You will have to use a Section Break (Insert>Break). Then set your margins
in the first section as needed.

Check "different first page"

Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you
want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages.
http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step
instructions.

Hope this helps,

Nope, no section break needed if you are trying to do what I suspect you
are. Use textboxes in the header on the first page to mimic different
margins.

Cool... I will try this! Now if you can answer my other post you would truly
be my hero! I asked Microsoft and they told me "this is not an option"

Not necessarily. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for
tips on creating different margins with the First Page Header.

True, Forgot about that.
