MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / January 2006Header/Footer with Section Breaks
I have a Word document (built by someone else). It is one page with Page Setup showing a different first page. When people use the document, the second page of the document shows a different header, ie first page holds info on Title, File No, Department, etc and second page holds Title and Dept only (no File No). The second page should be different, and automatically appears correctly. As long as I insert a page break all is well. I get into trouble when I put a section break in. It inserts a new section and automatically puts on the different first page. What I would like to see is the first page is different for the entire document and all subsequent pages, regardless if there is a section break or page break, will hold the second page information. I've read the Section break information but can't find an answer for this. I am unable to apply the Different first page to the Entire Document or This Point Forward - it will only let me apply it to the Section. Any ideas? You can either disable "Different first page" for sections after the first, or you can unlink the First Page Header/Footer in subsequent sections and duplicate the Header/Footer in it.

I probably haven't described myself quite properly. I'm trying to set the document up for others to use it and am trying to make it as simple as possible. I've found too many people get confused with Headers/Footers and end up calling me to fix them! Certainly the solution(s) mentioned work without a problem, however, what I want to do is set the document up in advance so all users have to do is insert the Section Break without having to do any further formatting. I think I'll change the format of my document and information in a locked form in the document instead of the header. Thanks for the feedback though. I appreciate you taking the time.

I am having a similar problem. I'm trying to set up a Word template that has a header and footer on the first page, then no header and footer on subsequent pages. One user pasted a letter from an old document that contained a continuous section break. When she did this the header and footer disappeared from the first page (and no, it did not appear on the second page). If she copied the first part of her letter and pasted it into the template, then inserted a new section break, then copied and pasted the second half of her letter, it worked fine. The problem only occured when she pasted the section break from the other file. Does anyone know why this happened? A lot of people in the organization want to be able to paste text from older documents into the new templates and it just doesn't seem to work very well! They are very frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated! > thanks for the response. > [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > > > > > > Any ideas? See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/PasteWithoutSectionInfo.htm. Note, however, that your new template does not need a section break at all. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm SignatureSuzanne S.
