Deleting a Single Header

Deleting a Single Header

You may want to have certain pages without headers, such as those containing chapter headings. This tutorial will help to simplify the process. The view we are using is "print layout" at different magnifications.

Insert Section Breaks

In order to control the layout of your headings, you must start by inserting section breaks before you set up the headers.   This looks like a lot of work, but really only takes minutes to do.

1. Begin by clicking your curser at the bottom of page one,
    to alienate the title page

On the insert menu, click break, click continuous, click Ok (this will add one space which may cause your document to shift a little)

In this example, we will set up a section break before and after each title page. Next we placed our curser at the end of the first section (page 6).

2. On the insert menu, click break, click continuous, click Ok

3. Click your curser at the end of the title page (page 7)

4. On the insert menu, click break, click continuous, click Ok
The title page on page 7 is now alienated

5. Go through the manuscript, entering section breaks
before and after each title page.

Create Headers

Next we want to leave page one as it is, so we begin setting up our headers on page 2

6. Place curser on page 2, click

7. On the View menu, click Header and Footer

8. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Page Setup

9. Click the Layout tab

10. Select the section start Continuous, check Different
odd and even, apply to this point forward, and
then click Ok

11. Fill in the header on the second page only

12. Click your curser into the page header section of
      page 3, do not type yet

13. On the header and footer toolbar, make sure that same
     as previous is not clicked!

14. Now you can enter your text on page 3 into the page
      header section

15. Close toolbar

16. Click on your next title page, open your header and
footer toolbar (view header and footer)

17. Your page setup will be the same as previously set in
step 10, it need not be repeated.

18. Delete the text on the title page, this will delete the
      header on every second page throughout the
      document, this is normal

19. Place your curser in the header section two pages up,
      (this will be the next page that doesn't have a
      header). Before you type, make sure that same as
      previous is not clicked! Type in your header

20. Scroll down to the next title page and continue
      repeating steps 15 and 16 paying attention to odd and
      even page numbers and which headers to apply to
      each.
