Headers & Footers

[Kerry]

Hi

I would like to create a template where the first page header is different.
However, if my document is only one page worth of text I do not want the
second page to show. I can only create a template that has a different first
page header if I have 2 pages in my template. How can I set a page 2 onwards
header without having a page 2? I hope this makes sense.

Many thanks in advance.

Kerry.

While you're designing your template, insert a manual page break so
you can get access to both the first-page and other-pages headers. Set
them up the way you want, and then delete the manual page break before
saving the template. The template will "remember" the other-pages
header even though it isn't visible. When you base documents on the
template, they will show the proper headers.

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)

If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter
wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced
Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is),
Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions
including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook
Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You
should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com

Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they
are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists
very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates
in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have
better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.

Hope this helps,
