If you’re unsure how to do that, check out our guide on inserting page numbers in Word. If you were using page number, and want to continue them in this section, you’ll need to insert the page numbers and then tell Word to start those page numbers off from a particular point. If it’s the same material as in the first section of your document, you can just copy and paste it from there, and it will then appear in the rest of your document (except in the new section you created, of course). Now, all you have to do is create the header or footer you want to use for the rest of the document. Again, the button becomes de-selected, because you’ve now broken the link to the header or footer area of that new section you made. On the Design tab in the Header & Footer Tools area of the Ribbon, click the “Link To Previous” button. Now, activate the header or footer area on the first page of that new section. A header area will appear on the first page.On the “Layout” tab, click the “Breaks” button, and then choose the “Next Page” option.Put your cursor in the first page, then choose Insert → Header → First Page from the pulldown menus. Then select the style to use for the next page (pick one from the menu - such as Default).

Just check the Different First Page option on the. You may close the Styles and Formatting window now, if desired. If you are only trying to create a different header for the first page, Word make things a lot easier. It is also possible at this point to create a custom first page style. The page style name should appear on the status bar below your document.
