How can I do this? I have followed the steps for having a different first page, but that is no good because I want the header to be there, just no footer with the page number or date. I have tried the Format page to start at 0 and a zero shows up on the first page. I am using word 2016 and have never had this problem in earlier versions. I just don't know how to fix this. I want a different header graphic on the first page, and a different one on the second page and a different one on the third page that should continue throughout the rest of the pages. I want a page number and date in the lower left starting on the second page as well as a company logo on the lower right, in the footer just like the page number and date.


Can this be done in 2016?

There is no difference between the way headers and footers work in Word 2016 from that in earlier versions. Every section of a document has potentially three different header and footer ranges.

If you want a different header and footer on the first page then set the different first page option for the first section and put whatever you want in (or remove from) that first page's header and footer. If you don't want a page number on the first page, then don't insert one in that page's footer.

Put whatever you want on the second page in the second page header/footer.

If you want the third page to be different again, you can either conditionally insert the header and footer { IF { PAGE } = "2" "Do this" "Otherwise do this" }

or you can insert a section break and start again with the ehaders and footers for the second section (which can be formatted differently from those in the first section by unlinking them from the first section)

As long as there are at least three pages in your document when you set the headers and footers it is a simple matter to use the header/footer Design tab controls to page through the various headers and footers.

Graham has given you a good overview.

For page 3 and after, at the end of page 2 insert a Next-Page section break.
Go into the first-page header and unlink it from the previous header. Do the same for the footer.
Then change the setting for different first page.
Unlink the header but not the footer in the section.
Insert your different graphic.
