Headers

[Jayden]

How do I get a header on the first page and third page of
a document without applying it to the rest of the pages?

How many other pages? i.e. Is there a page 4? If not, Page Layout or Page
Setup and then check the box for Different odd and even. Otherwise...

You can use two IF fields in your header:
{ IF { Page } = 1 "header info" }{ IF { Page } = 3 "header info" }

"header info" is the Header you want displayed. The quotation marks are
required. It would be possible to do this as a single (nested) field but
much more complex. To insert the field braces {} use Ctrl-F9. The ones on
your keyboard don't work the same. After you get them typed, select them and
press F9 to hide the fields and just show the headers on the correct pages.

Hi Jayden,

There is a First Page Header that you can use to get it to appear on just
the first page of each Section in a document. To make use of that facility,
you would have to have page 3 started by inserting a Next Page Section
Break. To create a first page header, open the Headers and Footers toolbar
and click on the Page Setup button (it looks like an open book) and then on
the Layout tab, check the Different first page box and then click on OK.
You should now see that the Header pane is captioned First Page Header. Set
up the header that you want to appear in that page and then click on the
Show Next button on the Headers and Footers toolbar until the come to the
first page of Section 2 of your document. If the header that you set up on
page one does not appear, click on the same as previous button.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
