Headers / Footers
I have created a 6 page document with a header set for
blank on page 1 and text on pages 2-6. The document prints fine from Word. When I merge the document with client data the header prints on the first page. Help? |

Headers / Footers
If I may piggyback on your question, every time I print a header or footer it comes out on page 1. How do I get it to only print on pages 2 and higher? Thanks, TomBk |

Headers / Footers
On the Layout tab of Page Setup, check the box for "Different first page."

When I merge the document with client data the header prints on the first page. Help? Your thread seems to have gotten kidnapped. Let's try to get it back. If I understand what you are doing, you created a document with headers that you then used as the Main Document for a mail merge. Just as a guess about what happened, I bet that you placed a "section break" between page 1 and the other pages, rather than using the "different first page header" feature. When you do a mail merge, Word places a "section break" between each copy of the form letter. That section break is probably set "same as previous". Since for the second copy of the document the previous section will be the second section of the first document, having it "same as previous" will include the header from the second section. Every copy except the first will have a header on page 1. Try using the "different first page header" feature instead? How's my crystal ball? Bob S |
