How to create different headers in my document in WORD 2007?

[mmmbopzombie]

Hi! I have been searching for an answer in this forum and in microsoft online
help, however, I haven't found a way to create a header/footpage for each
part of my document using Word 2007.

I have found a solution in the office site, I follow every single step and
when it says "clic Link to previous" to break connection to previous
headers/footpages, BUT... this button is NEVER enabled.

I'm getting crazy, I want to break my computer..

Can somebody tell me step by step how to do this? If possible with images or
with a video

Thanks

Firstly, do you have the different parts of your document separated by
Section Breaks. That is essential if you want to obtain different headers
for different parts of the document. Such Section Breaks are inserted by
clicking on the Breaks pulldown in the Page Setup section of the Page Layout
tab of the Ribbon.

When you do have multiple Sections in your document, you will then be able
to click on the Link to Previous button in all but the first section of the
document.

The problem is that the button does not work ( i don't know why ) when i
unchecked it. the headers in other sections still changes when i unchecked
the button. I had verified this on TWO computers and i am using office
enterprise 2007 , service pack 2

Could it be a bug ?

And i just spent 4 hours on this bloody piece of software

When you are in a section other than the first section in the document, does
the Link to previous button have a light orange background when the mouse
pionter is no where near it?

There is no bug that I am aware of as the button certainly works here.

However, running the following macro will unlink the headers/footers in all
of the subsequent sections of a document from that in the preceding section

Dim i As Long, j As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 2 To .Sections.Count
With .Sections(i)
For j = 1 To .Headers.Count
.Headers(j).LinkToPrevious = False
Next j
End With
Next i
End With

Hi , thanks for the reply. I am not quite sure how to use macros but I am
not going to try anymore because I am using just normal underlined text as my
header instead of the real header.

Just feel that such a simple function should not be that difficult.

Thanks for the help anyway. Even if i am not using it , others can still
refer to this if they are having the same problem.

Cheers
