How to create different Headers and Footers on Word

To create different Headers and Footers on Word, users need to break the Word document page , separate the pages to create different Headers and Footers so that the parts are not related to each other. We can change the title between each page in Word or even change the different titles between pages in Word page numbering style symmetrically according to the document format. Below are instructions for creating different Headers and Footers on Word.

Create different Headers and Footers on Word 2019 and above

Step 1:

First we need to create page breaks between the sections we want to create different Headers and Footers.

Open a Word document and click at the top of the page where you want to start a new section . Next, click on the Layout tab and select Breaks below. You will now see different page break options under Section Breaks.

• Next Page: Start a new section on the next page, dividing major parts of the document such as between chapters.
• Continuous: Start a new section on the same page, changing page formatting elements.
• Even Page: Start a new section on the next even-numbered page, formatted for printing or book-style Word symmetrical page numbering.
• Odd Page: Start a new section on the next odd-numbered page.

You choose Next Page or Continuous to break the page, for example the tutorial chooses Continuous.

Step 2:

Next we need to unlink the header and footer from the two sections that were made separate.

Click the header or footer area in the new section you have broken . Next, click Insert and then select the footer or page style you want to insert as required.

Then click on Link to Previous to turn off the gray .

Step 3:

Now you just need to enter the content for the Header or Footer for each section that you have separated.

As a result, we will see that the first 2 pages share the same Header, starting from the 3rd page and the following pages of the same section share the same Header.

How to insert different Headers and Footers on Word 2007

Step 1:

In the Word document content, for the parts you want to create different Headers and Footers, place the mouse cursor at the end of that content section.

Step 2:

Next, the user selects the Page Layout tab and clicks Breaks to proceed with section division. Here you will have 4 section division options including:

• Next Page: break to new page.
• Continuous: immediately stops the mouse pointer position.
• Even Page: even page break.
• Odd Page: odd page break.

For example, when you want to break a section on a new page right after the mouse cursor, select Next Page. The document will be split into 2 sections. Section 1 is the entered content. Section 2 is the content that is entered into the next section. Depending on the content, we can split it into multiple sections.

Step 3:

Next, create Header and Footer for each section, we double-click on the Header at the top of any page in section 1. Next, in the Design section of Header & Footer Tools, everyone ticks the Different First Page box in the Options section, then enter the content for the Header of section 1 as desired.

Step 4:

After writing the content for the Header of section 1, click Next to move to the Header of section 2.

Step 5:

Finally, click Link to Previous so that Header section 2 is not related to Header of section 1, then enter the content for Header 2 of section 2. You just need to double-click anywhere outside the Header to complete.

To create a Footer, users do the same as when creating a Header using the above operations.

Above is how to create different Headers and Footers on Word in a simple and quick way. Instead of using the same Header or Footer, we can change and use Headers or Footers on different pages or chapters. This can help make your document more lively.

Good luck!
