Different hearders within the same document
Hi All
I was advised that if I want to have a different header from a given location within the document I should insert a Section Break which I did but the headers are still the same throughout the document Thank you, Samuel Shulman |

What you were told was both (a) incomplete and (b) not entirely correct.
a. Inserting a section break doesn't change anything; it merely makes change possible. In order to effect the change, you have to put different content into the header/footer of one section or another. But before you can do this, you must unlink the header/footer in the second section from the ones in the first section, using the Same as Previous or Link to Previous button on the Header and Footer toolbar. For more on this, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm b. It is possible to vary the content of headers and footers without section breaks using the StyleRef field; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm -- Suzanne S.

You can have up to three different headers within a section. You can have a
different header/footer for the first page; you can have different h/f on even and odd pages. Any of these can appear to be different on different pages even though it is the same header - using conditional fields and StyleRef fields. Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not).
