Different Word Headers Problem

[aexley]

Morning all,

I have a Word document that requires different headers at various points throughout. My problem is I can set the second header (using the 'this point forward' option) fine but when I repeat the process for the third header it changes all the previous headers back to the page where I changed it for the second header.

This is a large document and I don't want to have to put all the different headers in individually. How can I get round this?

Thanks in advance,

AExley

Are you using Section Breaks and making sure the following section isn't "Same as Previous"?

Wasn't using section breaks but am going to give it a go.

Thanks for your help.

Let me know if you need help with them as they can be awkward critters sometimes on very large documents.

With large documents with multiple headers/footers it is helpful to use sections breaks and immediately make at least three (empty) page breaks. Then make headers/footers for that section.

This assumes you may want different header/footer for first page, and odd/even.

After you save the file, you can delete the blank pages if you want. Word stores the header/footer data in the section break. This meas if you add a new page back into that section it will automatically use the appropriate header/footer.

This might help with that stuff. Read Header and Footer Break Dancing.
