Inserting Different Headers & Footers

You can have different headers of footers in one document. Usually, in writing a book with different chapters, you'll have different headers & footers for each chapter.

The trick is to insert Section Breaks instead of Page Breaks.

To insert different headers of footers in the same document, follow these steps:

1. When you have to insert the next page, but the header or footer needs to be different than the previous one, from the Page Layout Ribbon tab, click Breaks and choose Next Page.

4. Now you can continue typing your document as usual, even finish it as you want. Just remember to insert Section Breaks into your document as the header or footer needs to be different for those pages.
   
5. To insert your header or footer, choose Insert Ribbon tab ► Header/Footer ► Edit Header/Edit Footer.
   
6. You'll notice the words "Header - Section 1" is displayed at the top left of the Header area. And the words "Footer - Section 1" at the bottom left of the Footer area.

Enter the content of your header and footer for the first section of your document.
