Repeating headers

T

ThoroughlyLoved

I am trying to place a header on a document. It needs to be on every page.
I have 399 pages. How do I get the header to automaticly go to all pages?
My header row repeat button will not show as active.

See Headers and Footers in Word. If that doen't supply the answer, try
"Help", "Headers"

The Header Repeat option is for use with Tables only. It means that if
you have a heading in a table, you want it to repeat across pages when
the table is split up by separate pages.

By default, headers in documents DO repeat on all pages.

Click View > Headers and Footer. Type information into the area that
opens at the top of the document. Then click the Close button that
will be on the Header/Footer toolbar that appeared when you opened the
header/footer layer. Now you can test this by hitting Ctrl + Enter a
few times to create new/blank pages. You should see the info you typed
into the header on the first page show up on each of the new pages.

This TechTrax article is more elaborate than you need, but if you look
it over, you'll find out a lot of information about creating various
parts of a document...including headers and "separate first page
headers." If your header isn't showing up on all pages, you might have
that feature selected, which you'll want to turn off. This article
will explain that feature and show images of creating headers.
