Now click on the tab for Header/Footer and do as shown in this Screenshot follow annotations.Īfter setting type only on the first Page. If you double click where header should be, it will turn on Header/Footer. Now before you type anything, Go to header Footer.
I don't 'need' a section or a page break, it's just using a section break was suggested by other posters as a way of forcing the header to effectively 'turn off' - only it doesn't (I'm afraid I don't follow your final paragraph on use of a Page Break, though. With the document's details and then start typing - and then not to see the header appear on every subsequent page.
I'd like my work flow to be: open new template document with the header, click into the header to personalise the content (dates, references etc) Ticking the 'different first page' button has no affect going on my experience.īy the way, I'm not entering the header content directly as that would defeat the object of using a template. On your second suggestion, that is what I've tried to do previously and - yet again - the header is repeated on every following page. With or without a section break, and from wherever I start typing. Thanks again, Bob, but again nothing changes - the header appears as soon as I get to it with more content, that's the same whether it's AI: Artificial Intelligence or Automated Idiocy? Please mark Yes/No as to whether a Reply answers your question. When you do create a new document, just click at the beginning of the 2nd page. If you wish, insert a Page Break following the content on the first page so you won't have to create one every time you generate a new document form the template. Go into the Header, check the Different First Page box, then enter the Header content. I'd simply start with a 'clean' version with no Header, Sectionīreaks, etc. Unless you have some other requirement that justifies its existence, I'd recommend doing away with it altogether. However, with nothing more to go on I'm not sure that a Section Break is needed. You should be able to rectify it by confirming that you start entering new content As a result the content flowing onto the 2nd page is a continuation of Section 1, therefore it is inheriting the Section 1 Header.
And in case you’re curious, Pages can do this too, sort of you’ll need to install a plug-in to get some help, though.OK, I believe this may be what's happening: When you "come to type on it" you're most likely startingīefore the Section Break. If you’d like even more information about how this works, check out Microsoft’s article on the subject.

Click the arrow there, and you’ll find the option to update the bibliography. The 16.59 version of Microsoft Word for Mac is provided as a free download on our software library. Pick your favorite style, and away you go! Word will generate the bibliography for you and insert it wherever you’d put your cursor.Īnd one more thing here: If you then go back and end up adding more citations, you can click on your bibliography section to reveal a header. When you do so, you can click one of the options for how you’d like yours to look. You can then double-click any one of those to insert its in-text reference again!įinally, when you’re ready to create your bibliography, click either the “Citations & Bibliography” button or choose “Bibliography” straight from the Ribbon if you see it there. You can continue adding as many of these as you need, and if you want to reuse one you’ve already entered, just click the “Citations” button on the Ribbon (which, as I mentioned, may be underneath “Citations & Bibliography”), and you’ll see the ones you’ve previously put in. Once you pick that, though, you’ll just type in all of the relevant info, like this:Ĭlick “OK,” and Word will add the citation within your text. The “Type of Source” drop-down at the top is pretty important that’ll determine what fields you get to type into, depending on whether you’re referencing a journal article or a book, say. In any case, though, once you pick “Insert Citation,” you can fill out a form with all of the details on the reference you’re adding. Yes, “Ribbon” is Microsoft’s weird and fancy name for the toolbar. We’re going to click “Insert Citation” here (and this is also where you can change the formatting of your references from APA, for example, to MLA), but just so you know, you may see that button all by itself on Word’s Ribbon depending on the size of your window.
