Following the guide, I first created the header and footer for the rest of the document, not the first page. Luckily, only the top and bottom margins were different on the first page in my design. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab. It’s fairly straightforward in Word to create a different header and footer for the first page of a document that they decided to make a toggle. Under "Headers and footers" make sure that the Header and Footer settings are set to 0.5"Ĭlear the Different first page check box. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Layout tab. Under Print and Web Layout options, select the White space between pages (Print view only) check box On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab. (before following these instructions, you may want to click on the View menu and click "Select All") It can be changed in the header/footer tools tab for that section. If a new section is created it will use the same setting for this as was in use in the previous section by default. If you can't see the headers even in print layout, try the following modifications: The setting 'Different First Page' is section setting that applies to both he header and footer as a unit. if you switch a document from "Normal" to "print layout" and save the document, then that particular document should continue to open in print layout until you switch it to another layout.
The "print layout" setting (under the View menu) is stored in each individual document. Headers and footers appear only in print layout view, print preview, and in printed documents. Re: Headers missing in Print Layout in Word
