Word 2000 Page 2 Header Only

[tonyrulesyall]

I am using Word 2000 with Windows XP. I would like the header
to show up on page 2 only.

I've used view, header, etc. to show up on all pages.
What do I have to do differently to get this to work?

Try looking under File, Page Setup, Layout tab, Different First Page box.
This will allow a different first page in each section of your document.
Take care as to what may happen after you check this option, for example if
you have multiple section already in your document you may lose a
header/footer at the start each subsequentr section. This is due to the
Headers/Footers being linked to the previous section. Not a major problem to
correct but you may wish to unlink these sections before checking the
Different First Page option.
For further help on having different Headers & Footers in a document see:

For further help on Sections see:

Hope this helps

Hi Tony,

There are various way of doing this, depending on the document structure.

For example, if there's no connection between the content of pages 1 & 2, you could insert a "Next Page" Section break at the foot
of that page, then go to the 2nd page and use File|Page Setup|Layout and check the 'different first page' option (for 'this section'
only). You could then insert your header into the header of page 2.

Alternatively, if you need the text to flow seamlessly from pages 1-3, you could use a field code in the header, like:
{IF{PAGE}= 2 "Your page header goes here"}
This would work equally well even if there was no connection between the content of pages 1, 2 & 3.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message.

Yet another way, if there's no connection between the content of pages 1, 2 & 3, could be to insert "Next Page" Section breaks
between pages 1&2 and 2&3, with the headers for Sections 2 & 3 formatted so they're not 'same as previous'. Then insert your header
into the header of page 2.
