Creating a template with delayed header or footer

[Guest]

I have created a letterhead template. It contains a header to appear on the
second and subsequent pages only if the letter is longer than one page. This
does not appear to be documented in your knowledge base. I would hope that
you would post it with an answer to a problem I have encountered. The header
does not display even though it exists. By that, I mean that when typing
takes you to the second page, the header should appear automatically. The
only way I can make it appear is to click view > header/footer. What causes
the header to be suppressed?

Thanks for the info. The procedure outlined in your link is exactly how I
created my delayed header. However, my original question is not answered.
When I create a letter with my template and move on to the second page, the
header does not display. My past experience with creating a template like
this, the header appeared as soon as I got to page 2. With my new template,
it does not display automatically. I have to go into view > headers/footers
to get it to display. The delay header is there, it just does not display
until make it display.

Are you using the Print Layout view? Headers and footers always show up for
me in that view.

Not if you clear the 'White space between pages' checkbox.

Thank you. That was the problem. It seems that when I got a new computer the
whie space between pages option was not checked when I reinstalled Office.

One of the other responders hit the nail on the head. It seems that when I
got a new computer the whie space between pages option was not checked when I
reinstalled Office.

Yes, of course. I forgot about that since I rarely encounter that problem.

Probably you are in normal view or you have whitespace hidden. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm.

Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you
want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages.
http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step
instructions. (It also has the following links)
