How to format heading/page number on Word 2003 for MLA style?

So you want page numbers on them all and the title header on only page 1?

I sadly have not used Office 2003 for many years, but I do recall an option for ways the header appears on first page only and then subsequent headers apply to the rest.
I will look for an old help file.

Can’t remember exactly but there should be an option in the header set-up for where to start the pagination.

You need to start a new section. Then you can give the sections different headers, footers and page numbering.

I don’t have Office 2003 in front of me (I wish, I hate Office 2007) and can’t tell you the exact menu options, but there is something in a header or footer’s settings to toggle between using the previous section’s header/footer or starting a new one.

Sorry, I wrote 2003… I use Office 2010. I want the header with page on the first page, but only page numbers on the following pages, but not the header.

Office 2010. Ewwwwww! I was an expert user of Excel and Word since the late 80s and Office 2007 and 2010 have turned me into a N00B.

Sorry for the rant, let me take a look at 2007, hopefully they didn’t change this too much AGAIN the bastards, oops, sorry for Office 2010.

1) Create multi-page document
2) Place cursor at the end of page 1
2) Choose Page Layout, Breaks, Section Breaks, Next Page
3) Choose Insert, Header, Blank
4) Choose Insert, Page Number, Top of Page, whatever style you want
5) Type in some header text
7) Choose Design, Options, Different First Page
8) Click in page 2 header
9) Choose Insert, Page Number, Format Page Number
10) Choose ‘Continue from previous section’ or ‘Start at..’

Hope that helps!

And here’s the official Microsoft version
Add or remove headers, footers, and page numbers

Thanks!! I’m gonna try later today and let you guys know how it went. I feel so moronic asking this kind of question… lol.
