How do I put header and not page number on first page?
I need to set up a document (no section breaks) with the header the same on
every page and start numbering on the second page. When I uncheck "number first page" in the footer, it also deletes the header from the first page. I've tried inserting the footer/page number and then the header, but nothing works. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Kathleen |

Use the following field construction in the Header
{ IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } } You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { } and Alt+F9 to toggle off their display. If you wanted the number to start from 1 on the second page, use { IF { PAGE } 1 { = { PAGE } - 1 } } -- Hope this helps.

How do I put header and not page number on first page?
By field construction, I mean the following combination of fields
{ IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } } To give you a step by step approach, Type IF PAGE 1 PAGE Then in turn, select each of the words PAGE and with it selected, hold down the Ctrl key and press F9 You will then have IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } Now select all of the above and with it all selected, hold down the Ctrl key and press F9, you will then have { IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } } Hold down the Alt key and then press F9 to hide the field codes. -- Hope this helps.

How do I put header and not page number on first page?
Hi Doug - Hope you're still around - these first postings went up 3 years ago!
My question is a further extention of your feedback: I want the text 'Page x of total pages' to appear as a right-justified footer beginning on the second page. I've been playing around with a few coding options...without success. could you please help me out of my dilemma? Thanks!

How do I put header and not page number on first page?
The easiest way to do this is to enable "Different first page," then leave
the First Page Footer empty. No code necessary unless you're wanting numbering to start on the second page and the number of pages to omit the first page. In that case, you can insert a section break between the first and second pages, unlink the footer, restart numbering (or start at 0), and use the SectionPages field instead of NumPages. -- Suzanne S.

How do I put header and not page number on first page?
Thanks for the tip, it left the first page number off as stated. Is there a
way to remove the second page number also, so page number 3 begins the number dispalayed but still counts all the pages within the document? e.g. page 3 begins with 3 and pages 1 & 2 are blank.
