The "Design" tab is missing in Word 2007
All I want is a header on page 1 and the HELP file says to use the DESIGN tab
but I do not have one. Why is Microsoft HELP only useful if you know what you are doing? It could not parse Design Tab missing gave me pages of garbage about setting tabs. Obviously a user critical KEYWORD field is needed in HELP to understand what the user wants. After 19 years using Winword 1 in 1990 to Office 2003 now, why the heck did Microsoft dump 19 years of user intuative experience? |

Hi Ron,
I assume you mean the Developer tab, in which case, it's not missing - you just haven't activated it! Go to Word Options|Popular and check the 'Show Developer tab in Ribbon' option. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Ron" wrote in message ...

To re-iterate what Macropod said - do you really mean the Developer tab? And in any case, you don't need either of those tabs to create a Header on the first page. AFAIK.... |

You need to go to Page Setup and choose Different First Page. Then you will
have two separate H&F, one for the first page of each section and one for the other pages of each section. I am sure that someone who has exclusively used a CRT TV purchased in 1990 would experience the same difficulties having a DIGITAL flat screen TV suddenly dumped on them!

The Design tab is context sensitive. It will appear if your cursor is in a
table -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ron wrote: All I want is a header on page 1 and the HELP file says to use the DESIGN tab but I do not have one.

It will also appear if your cursor is in a Word 2007 equation.

I believe what you are looking for is the contextual Header & Footer Tools |
Design tab. This will appear when the insertion point is in the header or footer. Double-click in the header area to open the header, and the Design tab will be displayed. On that tab, check the box for "Different first page," which will give you a separate First Page Header and First Page Footer. For more on headers and footers, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm -- Suzanne S.
