@Racing4Home Hi Sorry for the delay, Yes you can! It requires "section breaks". A section break is like a formatting brick wall which instructs Word to disregard previous formating. To set this up insert a "next page" (or "contiinuous" if you already have all your pages) section break. Then go to your header/footer & look for an option called "same as previous". Turn that off & then your header should read header section1 on page 1 and header section2 on page2. Worthy of a video me thinks!
@PCTeachME Okay.... I'll bite. What about section breaks. Suppose you want to create a dissertation, and the first page is the title page, which has no page number. Then you want a dedication page, an 'abstract' page, and a table of contents page. You also want no page number on the dedication page, but on the 'abstract' and 'table of contents' pages you want to number them i and ii respectively. Next you have your regular chapters and from here on you want to use arabic numbering. How?
@sclearyodonnell Hi sorry for the delay in replying. The key to what you are after is "section breaks". Bit long winded to type up here but these breaks allow you to control each header/footer, column formatting differently. I will get a video sorted and email you directly once it's up. Very good question and deserves a video on the subject. Thanks for your question!
Awesome video!

I'm creating a document with about 135 pages. Is there a way to create multiple different headers in the same document?
As someone said above, "This has been one of the most useful 10 minutes of my life". Thank you so much!!
