Default Headers and Footers

I am going crazy trying how to figure out the following:

First: Cover Sheet with neither header nor footer.

Second: First Text Page with different header than those
that follow AND no page number.

Third: All pages following First Text Page with DIFFERENT
header and also with footer containing page numbers,
beginning with "Page 2 of (all text pages, including
First Text Page. E.G., Page 2 of 7. Page 3 of 7, etc. The
count excludes Cover Sheet.

Default Headers and Footers

Hi, Pat Jennings. Between the first and second page, insert a Section Break Next Page. Click on the second page, then click on View | Header and Footer. Make sure the header says "Header Section 2" in the upper left corner (if not, press the DownArrow key until you are in the Section 2 header). Turn off "same as previous" on the Header and Footer toolbar. Press the DownArrow key until you are in the Section 2 footer, and turn off "same as previous" here too. Close the footer. Click on File | Page Setup | Layout | Headers and footers: Different first page | Apply to: This section | OK. Now you can insert the header and footer text as you wish.

Default Headers and Footers

Your suggestion did not isolate the "Cover Sheet",
wherein neither a header nor footer are desired.

Additionally, the page count includes the cover sheet,
which is not desired, and is on the "First Text" page,
which, too, is not desired.

By the way, your message streams across the page, rather
than being formatted within the window.

Default Headers and Footers

Your ieda seems similar to the one from "garfield-n-odie
and, as far as I can tell, ignores the cover sheet. My
file has the following format:

A. Cover sheet: No header, no footer.
B. First Text page: Primary header, no footer.
C. Second text page: Different Header, which is the
wording of the Primary Heaser with the word "continued"
added to it, and footer indicating page 2 of 6.
D. Third and subsequent text pages: Same Header as
on "Second text page, footer indicating Page 3 of 6, etc.
for the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth text pages.

Default Headers and Footers

Pat,

If you followed my directions, you will have a two section document.
Section 1 will have your cover page and your first text page. If you format
that section with Different First Page and then put header text on your
first text page the "Cover Page" page will "not" have header text. If you
then put your cursor in the footer of section 2 (physical page 3) and format
page numbering to start at 2 then followed with a { = {NumPages} - 1 } your
page numbering will read 2 of "one less than the total number of pages."

I agree, this "does" ignore your cove page which is what you indicate you
want to do.

Default Headers and Footers

Hi, Pat Jennings. What I suggested was to isolate
page 1 (cover sheet) from the rest of the document
using a Section Break Next Page, which creates a
document consisting of two Word sections
(cover page in section 1, remainder of document in
section 2). By turning off "same as previous" in the
section 2 header and footer, anything you put in the
section 2 header or footer will not appear in the
section 1 header or footer. By setting a
Different First Page header and footer in section 2,
you can have a header and footer on page 2 (first
text page) and a different header and footer on
pages 3 thru whatever (all pages following first
text page). You can insert the page number
starting on the page 3 footer with the fields
{ PAGE } of { SECTIONPAGES }, and you can
format the PAGE number to start at 1 and to
not show the PAGE number on the first page.

I re-read and paid attention to your solution. My
sincerest thakns, it worked. I must admit that starting
at the second section, rather than the first is not
intuitive. I think that that was at the crux of my
confusion.

If you followed my directions, you will have a two

section document.
Section 1 will have your cover page and your first text

page. If you format
that section with Different First Page and then put

header text on your
first text page the "Cover Page" page will "not" have

header text. If you
then put your cursor in the footer of section 2

(physical page 3) and format
page numbering to start at 2 then followed with a { =

{NumPages} - 1 } your
page numbering will read 2 of "one less than the total

number of pages."

I agree, this "does" ignore your cove page which is what

you indicate you
want to do.

Pat,

Glad it works. We both could have read gno's solution a
little closer. His/her method is actually more intuitive
and makes use of standard fields in lieu of the convoluted
{ = { NUMPAGES } - 1 } that I supplied.
