5 Steps to controlling Headers in Microsoft Word

  1. Click where you want to insert the section break.
  2. On the Page Layout tab, click on Breaks, and then under Section Breaks, click Next Page. This will insert the section break, and text following the section break will begin on a new page.
  3. Link to previous is available when you have more than one like section.
  4. In the first header of each new section, deselect Link to Previous. If Link to Previous is dimmed, check to make sure a section break was created.
  5. Type a new header or footer for this section. Now unlinked, it functions independently of the previous ones.
