Headers in Word

I am trying to create a document with different Headers on each page - I have been advised that I am able to do this by using a page break between each page I would like a different heading on. This does not seem to have worked; is there another way of doing this?

Thanks!

RE: Headers in Word

Hi Cara

You can create a different header on different pages. Rather than page breaks you have to insert new Next Page Section breaks each time.

Here are the steps...

1. Remove any page breaks already inserted.
2. Type the header for the first page.
3. At the bottom of the page before where you want the header to change select Page Layout, Breaks, Next Section Break.
4. Edit your header by double clicking at the top of the page.
5. Navigate to the Section 2 Header (you should see buttons called Next and Previous)
6. De-select the option Link to Previous. This is an important step otherwise the same previous header will repeat.
7. Type your new header for section 2.
8. Click Close header.

Seems complicated but this is what to do to create a different header on each page.

There is an alternative option that doesn't involve section breaks or removing your existing page breaks...

1. Insert a text box for the header.
2. Remove the borders then copy and paste the text boxes.
3. To position all text boxes in exactly the same place.
- Select all the text boxes using the shift key.
- Click Format, Position, More Layout Options
- Enter an Absolute Vertical position (eg -1cm)

All text boxes will then sit in the exact same place.

Hope one of these options works for you.
