#HOW TO GET DIFFERENT FIRST PAGE HEADER IN WORD 2010 WINDOWS#
If you have questions about using Windows (XP, Vista, or Windows 7) or Word (2003 or 2007), send e-mail to stfalco AT and I'll try to answer your questions here. In that instance, you'll need to use Word section breaks- but that's a topic for another day. Check the 'Different first page' checkbox. When the Page Setup window appears, click on the Layout tab. This is the button in the bottom right corner of the Page Setup group. Then in the Page Setup group, click on the Page Setup Dialog Box launcher. If you have more than one page of front matter, this won't work because you can't set the Start at value to less than 0. Answer: Select the Page Layout tab in the toolbar at the top of the screen.

Click the radio button next to Start at.The Page Number Format dialog is displayed. In the Header & Footer section of the Design tab, click Page Number and select Format Page Number.You want it to be 1, so you'll need to format the page number by performing these steps: As a result, the first numbered page of your manuscript will be 2. When you insert the page number field, Word starts numbering at page one of your document, even if your first page header doesn't display anything. Word inserts a page number field at the cursor position. (Warning: If you select one of the "Top of Page" options, Word will blow away any header content that already exists!) In the Header & Footer section, click Page Number.The label of the Header area changes to Header. Or you can add just a page number from the gallery. You can quickly add a header and footer from the gallery that already has a page number. In Word, page numbers and headers and footers look like the same thing, but they aren’t. In the Navigation section of the Design tab, click Next Section. The trick is to decide what you want first, and then it will be easier to get what you want.You can insert first-page only header information here if you want, or leave it blank.
