How do I create a header on only one page in Microsoft Word? [duplicate]
Mia Lopez
I'm writing a multi-page resume and I have a long bulleted list that breaks in between page one and two. Since I have a lot of details about my time at one company I want to have the company's name followed by "(cont.)" as a header on page 2 but leave page 1 alone. That is to say, I don't want anything resembling a header on any page except page 2, so the top margin of page 1 should be unaffected. How do I do this?

I think this is what you want:
A picture is worth a thousand words:
- Double click on the header.
- Select Design Tab.
- Options Section → Check Box "Different First Page".
*First header is just an example. THIS CAN BE LEFT BLANK, of course.
I want to have "Company name (cont.)" as a header on page 2 but leave page 1 alone.
After exploring more about your comments, I'd suggest not using this as a header --
"Company name (cont.)"
. In this case I would suggest, NOT to continue a Name onto a second page, but instead increase the bottom margin on the previous page to make room for completing the Company Name.
