Jan 1, 2012 - A tutorial in the Microsoft Word Intermediate User's Guide. Create a First-Page Header/Footer and Continuation Page Header/Footer in a template with only one page. Bullet, Have a. It is intended that they provide information without interrupting the reader's flow from page to page. This advice to modify.
You get a document. Someone has added section breaks, but they are all over the place — odd breaks, even breaks, continuous breaks, etc. You want to change a section break’s type from say ‘odd page’ to ‘next page’, but no matter what you do in Word the darned thing won’t change.
There has to be an easier way than inserting a new section of the type you want and copying across all the content from the section you no longer want. And it’s super easy! Word 2003.
Click inside the section you want to change — i.e. Below the marker for the section break you want to change. Go to File Page Setup on the menu. Click the Layout tab. In the Section start drop-down list, select the type of section you want to change it to (‘New page’ is the same as ‘Next page’ under Insert Break).
Word 2007/2010. Click inside the section you want to change — i.e. BELOW the marker for the section break you want to change. Go to the Page Layout tab. Click the Launch icon at the bottom right of the Page Setup group to open the Page Setup dialog box.
Select the Layout tab. Select the type of section break from the Section Start list, then click OK. The section changes immediately. Updated 3 July 2009 to reflect Brad’s comments below; if it still doesn’t work try the suggestions from Steve (22 July 2011) and Cassandra (17 August 2014). I had the same problem in word 2007. Like the previous post suggested, click one character AFTER the section break you want to change, so you know you are in the correct section. Then, on the page layout ribbon, click the page setup down/right arrow (in the bottom right corner of the page layout ribbon).
This opens the page setup window. Click the Layout tab. In this tab, there is a section heading and a section start option. It might say “New Page” or something.
You can click that drop-down list and change it to a different type of section break. Brad July 2, 2009 at 9:13 pm.
Brad, you are an absolute star mate. I have been trying every concievable option, checking the microsoft website and generally pulling my hair out till i saw this. Like all Microsoft things it is incredibly easy once you know how, it’s Just incredibly well hidden and poorly documented also! Just wish they would implement the dead easy page deleting, re-arranging and inserting they use in powerpoint in wordwould make life so much easier! Anyway, Cheers again.

Hi Rhonda, thanks for answering. I checked and it was not checked. What I discovered was that I was inputing continuous section breaks, and it was acting like section breaks to start the next section on an odd numbered page. I have a document with 114 sections, and it did that on all but one of them, which happened to be just a few lines at the top of the page with no footnotes in it. That one it did right – just continued on the page. But the other 113 it popped me to the next odd numbered page.
So almost certainly it has something to do with the footnotes. My goal is to have a header with chapter number and name that runs within each section – some only one page and some up to 30. To do that I had to add section breaks and that is where the problems started. There are an average of about 12 footnotes per page.
Any other ideas? Jeff Jeff April 29, 2011 at 11:16 am. You are a Saint! I was ready to throw my laptop out the window, or, better yet, kill someone @ Microsoft because breaks have NEVER worked in a way that is even remotely intuitive.
The fact that the problem could be solved within Word 2010 by going through FileOptionsAdvanced, on to the very bottom of the Advanced window to find the last line (i.e., ‘Layout options’) and then ferreting through the laundry list of bandaids and fixes to find and check the box next to “Lay out footnotes the way Word 6.X does” should be an embarrassment to the developers. It indicates that things are getting worse vs.
Better with subsequent downgrades oops, I meant upgrades:) Definitely deserves.&%$^%#.).!!! I have never found any useful information through the Microsoft support website it’s always through fellow tortured ones, sharing our pain and euphoria, that I have found the solutions / answers I am seeking!

I am trying to create a letterhead template by putting in our Standard letterhead header on the first page and our second page header all additional pages. It is so our non-graphic inclined folks can write a profesional looking letter. My original letterhead is in InDesign. I created a PDF and cropped out the bottom, blank area of the letter yto use as my graphic because the type reads the sharpest in this format. I have tried making it a watermark, which lightens my graphic so that doesn't work. I have inserted the graphic, taken out all tabs so it goes to the top of the page, gone into 'format picture' and told it to go 'behind text' and unchecked 'move picture with text' and checked 'lock anchor'.
This is the closest I have gotten to something that works. The problem is I can still move the graphic, which I want to be locked. And how do I create a second page with a different header so when the document goes on to two pages the copy will flow on to that page? I hope I am making sense here.
I would truly appreciate any help or alternate solutions for this problem. Thank you, Suzy Elliott Roper 16/3/2006, 10:14 น. In article, wrote: You are making perfect sense, and what you want to do is quite easy. All the magic stems from 'View » Header and Footer' Set your template so that you have a 'different first page' like this: Format» Document» Layout. In the headers and footers subsection of that panel, choose Different first page.
Word rasterizes PDF images as soon as you turn you back, so save the InDesign letterhead and follow-ons as eps. Save only the logo stuff. You don't need to monkey with the whole page. If necessary, make a pass through Illustrator to get the graphic the right size.
Back in Word, choose View » Header and Footer, and using Insert Picture from file, place your eps's in the first page's Header and the following page's header (you might have to force a second page while not in view header footer mode to get that to show up) Then save the thing as a template, and you are done. Eps works beatifully if you have Postscript printers or use the print to pdf via postscript trick. Use Indesign to get your graphics the exact size you want them to be in Word. Resist the temptation to resize graphics in Word.
If your letterhead wants stuff like company registration number or other malarkey on the bottom of the first page, pull the same trick with the first footer. This bit of Word works remarkably well. (It's OK Beth, I'll be back on my medication soon. Normal grumpiness will be resumed shortly) PS If you go to the trouble of defining and naming the styles in Word to match your InDesign styles, placing Word files into InDesign is really efficient for those days when you want better typography than Word can deliver.

What Elliott said (both before and after medication kicked in:-). But I have a couple comments on your statement above. If you were to Insert Watermark from a Picture and uncheck Washout, you would find that the image nevertheless looks lightened/washed out when viewed in Page Layout view. If you then, however, change the view to Header and Footer, you would see the 'real' image. And if you printed the page, the image would appear fully opaque. The same will be true when you follow Elliott's instructions and insert the images in the Header. They will always appear grayed out on screen (unless Header/Footer is checked) but they will print properly.
You're not going to be able to.view. the images as non-washed-out AND lock them AND have a different second page header AND make it a template at the same time in Word.
But you.can. do all of these things if what you're interested in is the.printed.

Create a second page temporarily and put the graphic in the regular header. Save and close the template. Re-open the template. Delete the temporary second page. Save and close the template. Create a doc based on the template.
Insert enough random text to get to the second page. I think you will find that the graphic automatically shows up in the regular header. If people start inserting section breaks, or using Odd/Even headers, it could get tricky, but this should work for nearly all letters.

Turn off view header and footer In the main document add a page break, (Insert » Break » Page break, then place your cursor after the page break) then while you are on page two, select view header and footer.
This time you will get to play with the header and footer for all pages after the first. I guess by now, you will have worked out what to do next. You owe me some InDesign advice next time I screw up in there!!! - To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248 [email protected] 17/3/2006, 14:02 น.
