Cannot Remove Header on First Page

After creating a four-page file in Pages ('08), I see that the header on the first page looks distracting. I went to Pages Help and was told:
"To make the headers and footers on the first page unique, click in the section, select “First page is different” in the Section pane of the layout inspector..."
Unfortunately, when I select the header section of any of the pages, the"First page is different" configuration button is inactive (grayed).
How do I activate that button optiion?

  • Header on first page, not on others

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to get a header to appear on the first page of a document, but not on the rest?
    Using section breaks, I can get the header to appear on all pages EXCEPT the first, but not the other way around. I've really played around w/ this and seem unable to figure it out.
    help.

    Yes thanks, that was a good idea. What I'm using for a header is actually a graphic, but I was able to accomplish the spirit of your suggestion by selecting the graphic, then going to the Wrap Inspector and checking the 'Fixed on Page' button rather than 'Moves with Text', then moving the graphic to the top where I wanted it. One can even position it exactly using the Metrics Inspector.

  • Omit/Hide Header on First Page?

    I am writing a multi-page document, and I want to have a header with my last name and the page number on it (MLA style), except for the first page which will be a cover page. This was possible with Appleworks and I think I recall doing it with Word, can I do it with Pages?

    I wish to add that it's explained in the Help and in the PDF User Guide _which are also for you_ !

  • How to remove header on last page of the report?

    I am working on a RTF template for PO report. This is the format of the rtf i have.
    <?start:body?>
    <?for-each@section:G_HEADERS?>
    All header fields
    <?for-each:G_LINES?>
    All Line Fields
    <?end for-each?> --Line End
    <?end for-each?> --Header End
    <?end body?>
    Give Section Break <Next Page>
    Terms and Condition should come here on a new page
    When I insert a section break for new page, the header that is on my 1st page of the template is repeating. Is there a way that I can stop the header from repeating on the last page? Please help me out with this issue.
    Thanks,
    Swetha

    Thanks jimr for the response. This solved my problem.
    The steps I followed are:
    Click on section2 header. click on 'Link to previous'button on the headers toolbar so the link between section1 and section2 is removed.
    Remove the header on the new page (section2). The header on the 1st page is retained while the header on the 2nd page is removed.
    Thanks,

  • Different Header for First and Subsequent Pages with Summary on last page

    The data in report can vary from 1 to more than 50 rows (order lines). The header on first page is detailed and the header on subsequent pages has only some fields (whenever data is large). There is a summary section which has to be on the last page of the report only and that too at the bottom (just above the fixed footer in the report).
    So, for a single page report the the detailed header, all lines, summary at the bottom and then the footer has to be printed.
    For a two page report - first page will have detailed header, some lines, fixed footer and second page will have short header, remaining lines, summary at the bottom and then the footer.
    For a three page report the summary has to be on third page only and so on.

    In a word processing document, select your object, place it where you want & then go to Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master. To place a different repeating object, you will need to insert a section break.
    With page layout documents, each page is a separate section, so there is no section master. Objects placed on one page don't repeat.

  • How to print a table only on the first page BI Publisher report

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to only print part of what is in the header on the first page only. It is a table. How can I do this in BI Publisher?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    better to ask a question about BI Publisher in BI Publisher Forum than here in Reports Forum.
    You can create a template in your rtf wich you reference in your header. With BI Desktop in Winword you can use a different header for first page than the others.

  • BIP (OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1): Different Headers on 1st page, middle pages, same header on last page as 1st page

    Hello,
    This is a much discussed topic but I still couldn't find a resolution.
    The report I am trying to convert from Oracle Reports is an Invoice. The requirement is as follows:
    On Page 1 The full header including company logo, bill-to, ship-to address, invoice number etc. Standard Invoice header stuff should print 1st page.
    Page 2 andl subsequent pages should print a scaled down version of the above header to conserve space (and paper)
    Last Page should have the Invoice Summary.
    In case of a multiple page Invoice this setup works just fine. I have followed examples available in userguide as well as on the web. Used Different First Page option, created section break so that header on first page can be different than on subsequent pages.
    PROBLEM:
    The issue is that in case of a single page invoice, it prints with the scaled down header, invoice details and summary.
    The requirement is that for single page invoice, the Full header and summary appear. I have put  <?start@last-page-first:body?> <?end body?> so that the summary appears on the single page invoice but the FULL header does not.
    I have tired to follow (http://winrichman.blogspot.com/2008/08/different-page-header-and-footer.html) but it doesn't seem to work.
    How can I create the necessary breaks in Word so that I get Full header on 1st page, scaled down header on other..pages and in case of Single Page Invoice, include FULL header and Summary on one page?
    Thanks,
    Manish

    Hi Tim,
    Forgot to mention that there is also a 3rd page which needs to display Part 3 and a different header text which is not something from page 1 or 2.So I guess the even/odd pages in page setup wont work as the 1st page header will be displayed on the 3rd page which is not what is expected.
    I think this is not achievable in MSWord. Is this possible if I use a PDF template?

  • In Pages '09, how do I remove the header from the first page of the document in a page layout document?

    Working Pages '09, I am trying to set up a multi-page document using page layout  (not a word processing document, because I'll be using lots of graphics and text boxes), with headers and footers, but no header on the first page, as this will be the title page. The layout>section pane has the 'First page is different' option  greyed out (because it's a word processor only option). Help tells me that each page is it's own section in page layout, but there is no way to have one page without a header and all the others with, as far as I can tell. Am I completely missing something or is there a way around this?
    Also, I want to do this again for additional chapters in the document (or else, I believe, be forced to manually start page numbering for each chapter in a new document).
    Cheers.

    Hi, Barry. I don't know why this solution didn't work for me :-\ Does it matter that my page numbers are in the footer and not the header? When I follow your direction, the pages do get numbered differently. My problem occurs with the last step.
    1. Open the Inspector. (Check!)
    2. Click the Layout button (second from left). (Check!)
    3. Click Section. (Check!)
    4. Make the two settings shown: (Check!)
    5. Go to Page 1 and delete the contents of the Header. (When I do this, the content for all footers is deleted...)
    I really appreciate your insight.

  • I only want the header on the first page . How do I remove it from the other pages but leave it on the first page only.

     

    Uncheck the Headers  (and Footers) settings in the Document Inspector.
    Enter the 'header information' directly on the first page, or put it into a text box. There's no need to use Headers if you want the information on only one page.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Remove header and footer from blank left-hand pages

    Are there any scripts to automatically remove header and footer on a blank left-hand page for an InDesign CS3 document? I have a book with many chapters and it would be more efficient than removing them by hand.

    It's a one liner from a much longer script that does quite something else -- this is merely a side effect, a quick way to get a page range (i.e., I need the range "251-256" to appear on my first page, excluding an optional blank last one) [*].
    Perhaps I could write a full script, but for that I need a bit more information. Is your document an InDesign Book, with each chapter in a separate document? If so, any empty frame on a last leftmost page can safely be deleted. If your book is in a *single* InDesign document, this line can only be used if a left hand page has *no objects at all* -- not even an empty frame. That's the easy case -- in English "if there are no objects on the page, apply the "[None]" master. If there *is* a frame, however, it cannot be removed right away, even if it seems empty. That's because in that case you probably have inserted a page break somewhere on the previous page, and if the frame is deleted, tht page break will push off the text on the *next* page (the right hand). It also depends on what kind of page break -- as a character or as a paragraph Keep Option; Next Page, Next Frame, Next Odd Page, Next Column. Way too complicated to script right off the bat.
    All in all, applying that empty master maually is much easier :-)
    [*] Sure, I know how to use the Next Page Number trick. However, I also need the range in my XML output, and the Page Number markers do not play nice when written out in ASCII.

  • Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

    In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
    Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
    This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
    This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
    Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
    Thanks

  • My company recently loaded foxfire and I cannot have two applications open in foxfire, the second page overlays the first and I cannot go back to the previous page or reduce the first page to view the first.

    My pages in Foxfore are overlaying one another which is normal but you cannot get back to the previous page. An example is if I have a page opened in a program and open something totally different it replaces the first page and I cannot reduce the size to see the first page I was viewing nor go back to it. I did open a page with audio and opened another application in foxfire and the replacing went on as usual but the audio continued to play so the page is stinn there. Also the tool bar page showing icon is replaced with the newly opened page not an additional page opened being shown as a tab. It's like the newest page or site I open in Foxfire replaces the one that is currently opened.

    you can use different page header and footer have develope the report in 2 pages or only one page .
    if you develope the report in 2 pages
    in the first page remove header and use different first page header property in word and paste the header in second page.

  • Header line only prints on first page of multiple page document

    Hi, I've created a SmartForms table and it has the Header, Main, and Footer sections. I've created table lines for the Header and Main sections. In the Header section, I've checked 'at Start of Table' and 'at Page Break'. The form prints multiple pages fine, BUT the header line only prints on the first page and not at any of the multiple page breaks.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Remove that 'at Start of Table' check box and check it.
