Probably a stupid question, but can I have headers and footers on a word document on the first sheet but not on the subsequent continuation sheets?

I'm using word 2003 by the way

Many thanks in advance

Cheers

this is from the help file, but from word 2007
not immediately helpful, but shows it can be done, and should be similar on 2003

Make the first page header or footer different from the rest of the pages

On the first page of the document, double click the header or footer area.
Under Header & Footer Tools, on the Design tab, in the Options group, select the Different First Page check box.
Note If your document includes a cover page from the gallery of cover pages in Office Word 2007, the Different First Page option is already turned on. Inserting or editing a header or footer on this page does not affect the other pages in the document.

Create a header or footer, or make changes to the existing header or footer, on the first page.

Here's how

http://www.uwec.edu/Help/Word03/headandfoot.htm#firstpage

Of course you can

If you go to FILE, PAGE SETUP, LAYOUT, DIFFERENT FIRST PAGE.

Then you can have a header on the first page and none on page 2 onwards, or vice versa.

If you need to have different headers / footers throughout the doc, you can insert section breaks, and have different formatting styles, etc., for each section.

Thanks Guys - still not easy - the headers are already in place and it still deletes all the headers from all the pages when I check different first page and it puts the headers back in when I put the first one back - but I have achieved what I need to do by using alternate pages!
