Second page headers

Hi Katie

Thank you for your reply.

I suggest then making a new document template for testing purposes. This will then help diagnose the section breaks.

I tried to recreate the problem you are experiencing. Firstly I made a new blank document then from File > Page setup I chose Different first page from the Layout tab then clicked OK

I temporarily created a second page by choosing Insert > Break and from the View menu chose Header and Footer.
I put some text in the header on page 2.

Clicking back into the body of the document I turned on Show codes (Tools > Options > View then in the Formatting Marks group clicked in All)

I deleted the page break I had put in which brought the document back down to 1 page.

As you are using forms and protecting the document I put in two or three line breaks then inserted a continuous section break.

After the break I put in a text form field (View > Toolbars > Forms) and then after the field I put in a second continuous break.

Finally I protected the document for forms protecting all sections meaning only the form field can be edited by the user.

I found that adding sufficient text to the form field forces the creation of a second page but that page does get the correct header. Reducing the text would shorten the document back down to 1 page.

You may wish to create a simple version of your template to test the sections and see how they perform. This could help in troubleshooting the template you have been using.

Other things to check - was the template created on a different version of Word to the one you are using?
Does your copy of Office have all the latest service packs applied?

I hope this helps you track down the cause of the problem you are encountering.

Kind regards,
Andrew
