I would like to know how to make a different header every two or three pages in my paper.

Thank you

Varying Header/Footer content requires the use of Section Breaks. You'll
find most all of the information you need if you look in Word Help on
Section Breaks as well as Headers & Footers ‹ including Videos & Tutorials.

After you have looked at the tutorial Bob sent you to, you need to become
familiar with the StyleRef field.

Create your header on the first page. Click on the "Toolbox" in your Word
toolbar. A separate window will appear with different formatting options.
Proceed to the following pages click in the header and then go to the
Toolbox and click on "Header and Footer" This option will only appear when
you have the header available to type in.
See the check box "Link to Previous"? Uncheck that box.
There you are, type whatever you want in that header and all your following
headers.
Simple.

Hi Joe:

Did you test your suggestion before posting it?

I suspect that if you had, you might have found that it didn't work :)

You forgot to tell him to add section breaks, and how to unlink the headers
and footers.

I sent him off to look up the StyleRef field so that he wouldn't need to do
either of those things.

Cheers
