Headers and footers by section
When you insert a section break to set up custom headers and footers in a
multi page document do you have to insert custom page number headers and footers before you actually insert a custom header and footer and edit the placeholder text because when I went to add a page number header the other header elements disappeared from the document. |

Headers and footers by section
I inserted a three column header and inserted a section break that cover the
first and second pages of the document. Now in order to have the title of the document, the page number and the date all in the same header what do I have to do? As far as the pages in the middle I get page 1 twice for the first and second pages. It is supposed to be Page 1 and then Page 2 for the Headers as well as Footers. This topic is hard for me to grasp. I need help. |

This is Word 2007, right? (It's different in this respect, and many others,
from previous versions.) When you click the Page Number button on the ribbon, you get a menu that starts with the four items Top of Page Bottom of Page Page Margins Current Position The Top of Page choice will wipe out any previously inserted header (built-in or custom), and the Bottom of Page choice will wipe out any previously inserted footer. Similarly, inserting a header or footer from the galleries will wipe out any existing header or footer, including any page number that may be there. Instead, put the cursor at the point in the header or footer where you want the page number, and use the Current Position choice. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. ron37 wrote: When you insert a section break to set up custom headers and footers in a multi page document do you have to insert custom page number headers and footers before you actually insert a custom header and footer and edit the placeholder text because when I went to add a page number header the other header elements disappeared from the document. |

Would you do that for the header title and date as well if you do have a
three column header? Its Word 2007. You would insert at the current position. I believe that about anything you want can be in a header and footer with customizations such as fonts, styles, bold, italics, etc. "Jay Freedman" wrote: This is Word 2007, right?

You're correct that anything can be put into a header or footer. However, if
you're using the building blocks that appear in the galleries on the Header and Footer buttons, inserting one of them *will* replace anything that's already there. Most of the things in those building blocks -- such as the content controls that display things like the document title, or fields that show page numbers or headings -- can be inserted in other ways, mostly through the Quick Parts button on the Insert tab, or through the content controls in the Developer tab. In that case, they're simply inserted at the cursor rather than first deleting the current contents of the header/footer. Always remember that the canned items in the gallery are there for convenience, but that convenience comes at the price of reduced flexibility. As soon as you want to do something slightly different, you must switch over to the "manual" methods.
