Question

Why is it that when I use my header, it prints on every single page? Who the hell turns in a paper with your name, date, instructors name. ect,,..on every f.....g. page? How can I put the header on the front page ONLY!!! Please, Thank you.......

Answer 1

Don't insert it as a header, just put it on the top of page one. A page header is exactly that - a header for every page.

Answer 2

You can leave the header or footer (header and footer: A header, which can consist of text or graphics, appears at the top of every page in a section. A footer appears at the bottom of every page. Headers and footers often contain page numbers, chapter titles, dates, and author names.) off the first page or create a unique first page header or footer for the first page in a document or the first page of each section within a document.

If your document is divided into sections (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.), click in a section or select multiple sections you want to change. Click anywhere if your document is not divided into sections.
On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
On the Header and Footer toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.), click Page Setup .
Click the Layout tab.
Select the Different first page check box, and then click OK.
If necessary, click Show Previous or Show Next on the Header and Footer toolbar to move into the First Page Header area or First Page Footer area.
Create the header or footer for the first page of the document or section.
If you don't want a header or footer on the first page, leave the header and footer areas blank.

To move to the header or footer for the rest of the document or section, click Show Next on the Header and Footer toolbar. Then create the header or footer you want.

Depending on which version of Word you are using, you can set it to have a different header on the first page.

For Word 2003, goto File->Page Setup.
Simply click [ ] Different first page (under "Headers and Footers" under "Layout") and it should not copy the header to every page.

If you put in a header it WILL appear on every page but if you just want to put a caption on your page just type it in and centre it.
