Word 2003 header/footer template quest

Howdy all..

I've created a .dot template with a logo in the header and address in the
footer and it works great. Except I only want the header logo on the first
page, I do want the footer address on all pages.

I've tried adding a section break at the bottom of the second page and
un-attaching it from the the previous, which sorta works (but not, because
it creates a second blank page immediately and it may not be needed). I want
it so my user can just keep typing and if he exceeds the length of the first
page it will flow onto the second/third pages without header logos (just
footer address)....without him having to do anything other than keep typing.

What have I missed?

Tnx,
 
R

Rob Giordano \(Crash\)

Holy Cannoli...thanks for that! Worked great.

Boy, but there ain't nuttin' intuitive about that!

Actually, I sorta was close but when stuff started disappearing in the
header/footers, I headed for the refrig.

Thanks again!

Rob

| What you've missed is using the "Different first page" setting; you can
put
| the same content in the First Page Footer and the Footer. See

It does require a leap of faith to believe that Word will "remember" what
you can't see. What's even more eerie is what happens if you're dealing with
a document that once had "Different first page" (or "Different odd and
even") enabled, but it has been turned off. You enable it and the old
header/footer (possibly created by someone else) surfaces. This freaks a lot
of users out.

yep it was driving me nuts...and would never (ever) figured it out without
that tute.

I must admit I did try to fix it without creating the second page first (i'm
a contrarian, what can i tell ya) but finally gave in and did it like your
site outlined.

You can certainly do it first page first, but then you have to insert a
temporary page break to create the second page.

and deleting that temp page break seems to delete the
header/footers...that's were I gave up.

It certainly makes them invisible, but if you add enough text to fill the
first page, then the Header and Footer appear on the second page.
